COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Advanced Manufacturing Technology and Systems Management curriculum is designed to provide students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to excel in modern manufacturing industries. Core modules include Experimental Methods, which develop essential research and analysis skills, and Advanced Manufacturing Processes, focusing on efficient production techniques and industry best practices. Students also study Composites and Polymers, Additive Manufacturing and 3D Product Modelling, and Finite Elements, which together build a strong understanding of material properties, design, and simulation for advanced engineering applications. The program incorporates Manufacturing Systems and Robotics, Metrology, and Bioengineering to explore automation, precision measurement, and innovative technological solutions in production environments. Health and Safety e-learning ensures awareness of industry standards and regulatory requirements, while an Academic Malpractice module underlines the importance of research integrity. The dissertation forms a substantial part of the program, allowing students to undertake an independent research project that applies learned concepts to real-world problems, fostering analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills. Overall, the program balances technical, practical, and managerial components, equipping graduates with expertise in advanced manufacturing, materials, automation, and systems management, while also developing transferable skills essential for leadership roles in engineering, consultancy, and high-tech industries.
