The demands placed upon today's engineers require a high degree of competency in a range of disciplines, from analytical skills in technical areas through to professional skills in management and communications. This programme helps students to gain knowledge in underlying concepts and specialist areas in technical or commercial contexts.

The programme blends engineering, management and ICT to help broaden the skills and experience of the graduate engineer. Students can study a range of subjects leading to the Master's award for MSc Manufacturing Systems. Alternatively, they can select certain option and project combinations and qualify instead for MSc Manufacturing Systems (Lean Manufacturing) or MSc Manufacturing Systems (Computer Integrated Manufacturing).
