MSc, PgDip Systems Engineering

The Centre for Systems Engineering has been at the forefront of developing systems engineering education for the past fifteen years, blending the breadth of systems thinking with the rigor of systems engineering and closely integrating this within acquisition management.

The course has been set up to give students a better understanding to focus content and delivery on systems engineering professionals working in distributed, agile teams using shared models and flexible working approaches, emphasizing professional skills such as leadership, team working, communication, data management, and ethics.

The MSc in Systems Engineering is designed for those seeking Professional status in their chosen career. A PgDip (two years) is usually the minimum qualification for mapping to the UKSPEC.

However, the University recognizes that personal circumstances may change. As such, there is a possible exit route after one year’s successful completion of a PgCert in Systems Engineering study.

A first or second-class honors degree or equivalent in science, engineering, or mathematics. Alternatively, a lesser qualification together with appropriate work experience may be acceptable.

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
