This course is jointly delivered by the Discipline of Mechanical Engineering and the University of Dundee School of Business, and brings together contents of engineering and management in an industrial engineering focused postgraduate degree course. As a student on this programme, you enlarge your engineering competence gained in undergraduate studies by growing your knowledge in more specialised, industry-focused engineering subjects, as well as complementing this by an understanding of core management principles. You will undertake an industrial related project for at least 12 weeks to gain practical, industrial experience and develop specialised knowledge and skills. You will also have the opportunity to form a virtual spinout company combining your engineering skills with the business and management knowledge you will acquire on this programme. This will enable you to become a leader in the engineering industry, applying cutting edge industrial engineering strategies in combination with an economic vision and understanding. Students graduating from this programme will have a strong interlinked knowledge between engineering and management with the right set of project management and problem solving skills allowing you to enter leading roles in industry. Graduates will find employment in national and international industries and will be capable of applying transferable skills manufacturing projects and industrial research and development.

This course has been designed under regular discussion with our industrial board, so it is as close as possible to the employment demands of an actively developing industry. As graduate of this degree programme students will find employment in leading industrial roles.
