The MSc (sandwich) Sensors, Data and Management is an innovative programme designed to bridge the gap between the University and Industry. It offers a curriculum based on industrial partners' advice, focusing on practical application of theory and theory. The programme is available as a standard full-time Masters one-year program (180 credits) or an extended full-time Masters 20 month program (240 credits). The 20 month program focuses on applying engineering, technology, and scientific knowledge to real-world design problems. The Group Design Project aims to apply engineering, technology, and scientific knowledge to a real-world design problem, preparing students for the modern environment. The 20 month route is designed for international students who wish to apply their knowledge to professional practice in the UK. An industrial placement is also possible in year two, but applicants must apply directly to companies offering placements. Further information about placement opportunities will be provided during semester two of year one.
