Applied learning
Live projects
We encourage you to learn through the application of theories, concepts and knowledge to real-life situations (such as your own organisation or in the international product development module), or by using case studies. Part-time students can find that their masters projects are typically of significant importance to their companies and can raise their profile in the organisation.
Competitions
You can design, build and fly a remote-controlled aircraft as part of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Challenge. You can also apply to design, build and race a car as part of the Formula Student competition. This year our SHURacing team came 23rd in the final of the competition at Silverstone.
Future careers
This course prepares you for a career as a
- technical specialist
- technical manager
Accreditation
This course is accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), on behalf of the Engineering Council, for the purposes of partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer; graduates who have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the further learning requirement for CEng accreditation.
This course is also accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council and will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng, will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration. It should be noted that graduates from an accredited MSc programme, who do not also have an appropriately accredited Honours degree, will not be regarded as having the exemplifying qualifications for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer with the Engineering Council; and will need to have their first qualification individually assessed through the Individual Case Procedure if they wish to progress to CEng.
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.
