COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Manufacturing Technology and Management offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to develop advanced knowledge in materials engineering, manufacturing processes, and management strategies. The program includes compulsory modules such as Engineering Leadership and Management, which equips students with skills in innovation management, project planning, finance, and understanding ethical and cultural dimensions of leadership. Introduction to Sustainable Manufacturing introduces foundational knowledge in manufacturing technologies, materials life cycles, environmental concerns, technical communication, and proposal writing. Lean Product Development builds expertise in concurrent engineering, product development tools, and trade-off techniques for innovative product design and development. In addition to these core subjects, students select from a diverse range of elective modules tailored to support various career paths and technical interests. Electives include Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing Technologies, which explores advanced machining and fabrication techniques; Composites Manufacturing for High Performance Structures, focusing on design and production of composite components; and Finite Element Analysis for Additive Manufacturing, providing simulation skills using FEA software in metal AM applications. Additional options like Introduction to Materials Engineering and Metal Additive Manufacturing Processes allow students to deepen their understanding of material behavior and additive manufacturing techniques. For those interested in production strategy and quality control, Operations Analysis and Operations Management offer insights into Lean frameworks, Six Sigma, capacity planning, inventory control, and quality systems. Other modules such as Manufacturing, which covers aerospace manufacturing practices, and Modelling Engineering Materials, which introduces computational techniques and machine learning in materials science, round out the course. Each module develops practical and theoretical capabilities necessary for innovation, sustainability, and efficiency in manufacturing environments. With a flexible curriculum and strong industrial relevance, the program ensures graduates are well-equipped to make meaningful contributions in various sectors including automotive, aerospace, consultancy, and advanced manufacturing.
