Why choose Engineering Management MSc at Middlesex?

Middlesex University is the only institution in London to offer a course in engineering project management and our strong links with such industry giants as Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Mitsubishi, BAE Systems, IBM and Siemens, means that you will be studying a highly relevant degree with up-to-date research and practices.

 

This in-depth, technical and practical course is designed for students who have studied engineering at university and are looking to advance those skills.

 

Our teaching staff are internationally renowned for their research expertise and include Dr Andrew Tizzard, a former design engineer with Ministry of Defence contractor Rank Pullin Controls.

 

The course is supported by the National Centre for Project Management. Based at Middlesex the centre carries out research into project management and provides training for professionals, working with organisations including BT, HBOS, Morgan Stanley and Fujitsu.

 

If you do not wish to study the full MSc, you can apply to the PGDip where you study only four modules or a PGCert where you study only two modules.

 

What you will gain

This course offers an extensive hands-on experience, with practical work incorporated into every module. Instead of a thesis you'll work on a team project designed to resemble a real-life industry scenario.

 

You will have access to technology, software, studios, laboratories and workshops which are well-equipped with specialist and industry standard software. You'll also have the opportunity to work towards a Prince2 Certification as part of your studies.

 

In addition to an in-depth understanding of the subject, you will also become familiar with software such as WITNESS, Simul8, MATLAB and Simulink. You’ll be able to use modelling and simulation techniques in engineering, case studies to learn to validate models against real-life methods, and you’ll have knowledge of management theory, systems theory, and the global, social, ethical and environmental context of engineering.

 

The career of an engineering project manager is an exciting and challenging one - overseeing complex projects, taking charge of teams and delivering on time and on budget. Yet there's a worldwide shortage of graduates who have the elusive combination of technical knowledge and the management capability that such a demanding role needs. This masters degree was created to meet that demand.
