Engineering is a global industry with organisations operating in a multidisciplinary and international market place. Engineers often face situations that demand an understanding of social and cultural issues in parallel with the technical requirements of the project.

Graduates of this MSc will have developed skills in many of the key generic employability required by all engineering positions such as communication, team working, and cultural awareness. In partnership with this, they will have had the opportunity to enhance and apply their practical skills to real life projects to appreciate the limits of engineering theories and standards. But the major benefit of this will be that graduates will be able to select the appropriate engineering solution for any engineering problem with a global understanding of the impact of the solution on the end users and surrounding local communities: truly Global Engineers.
