MSc Systems Engineering Management

Managing large complex systems engineering projects demands a unique set of skills not taught within conventional engineering or business management programmes.

The aim of our MSc in Systems Engineering Management programme is to develop systems engineering management capability by creating graduates who understand the complexities of the management situations they face and who can apply systems thinking approaches and techniques to address the challenge of managing the complexity between the technical system being developed and the people and organisations that are responsible.

You'll focus on engineered systems. However, you'll acquire many skills and techniques equally applicable to other complex systems such as manufacturing and organisations.

The programme is based within the Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management, the only department in the UK combining end-to-end expertise from creative design through engineering design, manufacture and management of the entire system.

We work in partnership with global companies that have extensive systems engineering expertise. This ensures our teaching is based on the latest research and the skills you gain are cutting edge and relevant. It also enables us to incorporate practical challenges and solutions through your project work with an industrial partner.

Academic requirements
