Postgraduate Prospectus - MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

Are you looking to gain a competitive edge in the field of manufacturing engineering? This cutting-edge course will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the field of advanced manufacturing.

Overview

In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, the field of manufacturing is undergoing a powerful transformation. 

The shift from traditional manufacturing to advanced, digitised or even smart manufacturing can be seen as a paradigm shift, one that has the potential to ignite the next industrial revolution and reshape the global competitive landscape. 

The emergence of smart manufacturing brings with it a host of opportunities for firms to reinvent themselves and push the boundaries of technological innovation. 

During this programme, you’ll explore the world of advanced manufacturing and undertake modules in Product Design, Surface Engineering and Tribology, Manufacturing Systems Simulation, Manufacturing Process Analysis and much more. 

At the end of the course you will complete a project related to Advanced Manufacturing in which you can showcase all of your newly acquired skills and knowledge.

Shape the future of manufacturing
With the constant evolution of technology, it is clear that traditional manufacturing industries are being profoundly impacted by a multitude of factors including global competition, changing customer requirements, dynamic market trends, digitisation and increasing process complexities. 

The divergence is driving the need for professionals who possess the skills and knowledge to navigate the new era of manufacturing. 

This course will equip you with the necessary expertise to thrive in this exciting and transformative field. By pursuing this qualification, you will position yourself at the forefront of this paradigm shift.
