This programme is aimed at students who have already completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and wish to embark on successful careers in the management of global engineering and technology firms. This one-year Masters degree provides grounding in operations, quality, marketing, systems planning, and analysis while building on student’s technical expertise to develop the next generation of industry leaders. We seek to develop creative problem solvers who can critically analyse problems in a business context and propose and develop practical and feasible solutions.



Our teaching methods and learning environment are highly interactive and varied and include lectures, workshops, tutorials, labs, and practical exercises. Group-based modular projects and a final applied company-based consultancy project enable students to integrate the covered theoretical knowledge with practice. All of these unique features are the key elements in the programme’s design and success over the years.


1 - Describe the basic principles of management and business organization, and to explain their application in technical environment.
2 - Display understanding of the social, ethical and legal considerations relating to engineering practice in society.
3 - Students will be able to apply their knowledge and understanding of engineering and business in industrial and public service contexts. This will involve the integration of technical and business knowledge and skills in the design, implementation and management of complex engineering systems.
4 - Students will be able to demonstrate decision-making skills and judgment both in the analysis of problems and in the implementation of solutions, considering technical and financial factors as well as social, ethical and environmental factors.
5 - Students will be able to acquire capability in analysis, problem solving, inductive and deductive reasoning in both quantitative and qualitative contexts.
6 - Students will be able to communicate articulately and persuasively, to a range of audiences both specialist and non-specialist, with a view to disseminating knowledge and facilitating debate and effective decision -making in organizations and in society.
7 - Students will be able to demonstrate the ability to work effectively in teams and to display the potential to take on management and leadership responsibilities within their technical disciplines.
8 - Students will be able to display the ability to self-evaluate, and to manage their life-long learning and professional development, through both team based and self-directed learning.
