Government is focusing heavily on boosting the UK manufacturing industry; failure to meet demands for engineering skills could cost the UK £27bn a year. 58% of all new jobs will be STEM related, and the number of those studying for degrees in science, engineering and technology must increase by over 40% on current levels if demands are to be met. Of all STEM skills, those in mechanical and manufacturing engineering are becoming increasingly highly valued [1]. Here at Wrexham Glyndwr University, we aim to ensure that the MSc Engineering (Mechanical Manufacture) comprises fit-for-purpose teaching and research experience to provide a solid background for a career in the engineering and manufacturing industry sector. Many of the academic staff have industrial experience spanning a broad range of engineering areas and working levels. Many of our graduate students from previous years are now in jobs at top international companies such as Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Alstom, and Airbus. The taught element of the programme includes design, and stress and fluid dynamics analysis, using state of the art commercial software, such as ANSYS. Students can choose to develop their skills in particular aspects through their choice of MSc research project, which would be aligned with one of the University Research Centres.
