Engineering and Technology Management

The MSc in Engineering Management is designed to prepare the next generation of engineering leaders with a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen.

Become a professional engineer who can manage large-scale projects, think strategically and drive innovation in a rapidly changing engineering landscape.

On our MSc in Engineering and Technology Management, we create the leaders of the future who can combine technical and problem-solving skills with business acumen. It will make you highly employable as there is huge global demand for people with a knowledge of engineering-focused business management.

You will learn about managing supply chains and teams, dealing with operational risks and exploring sustainability and ethical leadership. The hands-on course involves business simulations where you could be making financial decisions and exploring new markets for products and services.

You’ll also develop project management skills to help prepare you for a wide range of big technical projects. And building on your engineering knowledge, we cover areas such as engineering systems quality and operations as well.

The course brings together specialist staff from our Engineering Department and Staffordshire Business School. It means you’ll learn from research-active experts whose professional experience spans a variety of fields.

With a strong industry focus, the MSc meets Engineering Council competencies. We also work with industry leaders, who provide real-world examples and challenges. There is the opportunity to undertake a placement year too.

You will complete five modules – two business-related modules, two focused on engineering and an individual project.

You will explore the impact of Industry 4.0 on organisations.  It includes how artificial intelligence, robotics and automation are reshaping business models, value chains and workforce dynamics.  We’ll look at risk management so you can identify and mitigate operational, strategic and supply chain risks.

You’ll explore engineering systems quality and operations management. Topics include quality planning, control, continuous improvement and statistical quality assurance. You’ll learn about tools such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA).

You’ll look at project management techniques, including the role of quality, risk and cost management. There will be a research-based group project, where you will deliver an engineering solution and demonstrate teamwork and critical thinking skills.
