Summary

The range of skills required by Engineering and Manufacturing Industry is so diverse that it is impossible to put courses together that fit the aspirations of each company and each student. This course is offered to give flexibility to both students and companies to put together a series of modules totally appropriate to the needs of the student or the company. The Postgraduate Centre academic staff assist students in selecting appropriate modules.

Reasons to choose Engineering & Management MSc/PgDip degree (part time course)

Enhance your qualifications and release your potential to move your company forward.
Coventry University’s Faculty of Engineering & Computing has one of the largest Postgraduate and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programmes and offers a range of attractive and industrially relevant courses. Close collaboration with industry enables us to equip you for the world of work, with a broader understanding and knowledge to take your place in industry and improve your marketability.

The Faculty of Engineering and Computing is a major UK centre for engineering, computing and mathematics education and research. It is a lively place where we pride ourselves in the strong links we have with industry, our ‘real-world’ approach and our commitment to helping all our students achieve their fullest potential.

The Faculty benefits not only from excellent teaching and research facilities – including a national Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Mathematics support – but from strong links with industry, commerce and universities worldwide.

Our emphasis on focused, collaborative programmes continues to strengthen our status and the ability to provide solutions for business to assist industry in achieving world-class performance.

Our collaborative ventures with companies such as Jaguar, Land Rover and IBM, as well as many hundreds of small and medium sized enterprises, not only help us remain at the forefront of technological advances, but ensure we keep pace with employers’ changing expectations.

Teaching and Learning Resources

Courses are taught in our excellent Graduate and CPD centre, which provides first rate classroom and social facilities particularly designed for part-time students who may be coming to study after work.

Classes are taught by academics with a long track record of working with part-time students and who bring in leading industry experts wherever that is possible. The University Library is only a short walk from the Graduate and CPD centre and therefore very easy to access either before or after class and at weekends.

Entry requirements

You will normally be expected to have an honours degree but entry qualifications are flexible for mature candidates with industrial experience. We are always willing to talk to you about your experience and look at how that may be credited against the academic requirements of certain programmes.

Course content

This course has been designed with the industrial part-time delegate in mind, indeed we talked with our partners when developed the material. Each course consists of 8 taught modules, study skills, research methods and a project. The modules are studied in ablock mode, one module at a time. This means that you focus on one subject and complete it before moving on to the next.

Attendance can be part-time day, or part-time evening, with 35 hours (MSc) contact time in total pre module. The evening modules are delivered only to part-time delgates which gives great opportunity to share experiences and network between other industries.

Part-time day attendance: 2 week delivery with a total of ten 1/2 day lecture sessions per module
Part-time evening attendance: 2 evenings per week, 6 weeks per module

You will normally study for 3 years with an optional exit point at the end of each year.

Year 1, 4 modules
Year 2, 4 modules
Year 3, An individual industry based project

A study skills and research methods module is taught throughout the programme.
