  • Careers

    Career Opportunities

    A Master of Engineering is highly desirable. Engineering and associated industries are experiencing a major short fall in well-qualified graduates, which has produced a significant demand for flexible individuals with relevant knowledge and expertise.

    The career opportunities that you will enjoy with this degree will depend on the area that you plan to work in and the field.

    You can pursue jobs in many different engineering fields from chemical and electrical engineering to mechanical and civil engineering. Within these fields, you can advance up the ranks or become more of a lead engineer.

    
• Requirements

  Applicants will normally hold a recognised first or second class honours degree from a UK university or international equivalent in a relevant subject area. We expect that you will have a knowledge of Engineering from almost any discipline (e.g. Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing) and are interested in developing their engineering skills in the area of modelling, control and sustainability.
