What you'll study

This programme will cover aspects of management, as well as advanced engineering management concepts that apply across the full breadth of engineering disciplines. It aims to provide students with knowledge and experience in the management of innovation, finance, operations, strategy, systems, and sustainability, in relation to engineering projects.

The course material includes topics such as process, business model, disruptive, and agile innovation, as well as customer engagement, lean manufacturing, product development, and offshore/onshore manufacturing.

We teach business analytical techniques such as 'Porter's Five Forces,' 'McKinsey 7-S Framework,' 'Boston Matrix (Product Portfolio Model),' and 'Balanced Scorecard.' This enhances your capability to systematically analyse decision-making in engineering businesses.

We intend to inspire your creativity in problem-solving by examining real-world engineering industry problems and global challenges, such as Mongolian air pollution and disaster management in Fiji. The process of identifying causes and effects in complex situations should increase your confidence in developing ideas and solutions.

Teaching

The School of Engineering and Materials Science conducts high-quality research in a wide range of areas. This research feeds into our teaching at all levels, ensuring you share in the latest research and knowledge.

You will take part in a range of in-person learning activities, such as problem-solving classes, workshops, lectures and seminars. Study materials will also be provided for self-directed learning.

You will often work in teams to solve problems, enabling you to learn to manage the team's resources whilst investigating broader engineering management challenges.

You will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary.
