Engineering Management MSc

The career of an engineering project manager is an exciting and challenging one - overseeing complex projects, taking charge of teams, and delivering on time and budget. Yet there's a worldwide shortage of graduates who have the elusive combination of technical knowledge and the management capability that such a demanding role needs. This Masters's degree was created to meet that demand.

Why study MSc Engineering Management at Middlesex University?

This in-depth, technical, and practical course is designed specifically for those students who have studied engineering at the university level and are looking to develop an advanced mastery of the subject.

Middlesex University is the only institution in London to offer a course in engineering project management and our strong links with such industry giants as Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Mitsubishi, BAE Systems, IBM, and Siemens, means that you will be studying a highly relevant degree with up-to-date research and practices.

This course offers extensive hands-on experience, with practical work incorporated into every module. Instead of a thesis, you'll work on a team project designed to resemble a real-life industry scenario.

You will have access to technology, software, studios, laboratories, and workshops which are well-equipped with specialist and industry-standard software. You'll also have the opportunity to work towards a Prince2 Certification as part of your studies.

If you do not wish to study the full MSc, you can apply to the PGDip where you study only four modules, or a PGCert where you study only two modules.
