Course content

The government is focusing heavily on boosting the UK manufacturing industry; failure to meet demands for engineering skills could cost the UK £27bn a year.

58% of all new jobs will be STEM related, and the number of those studying for degrees in science, engineering and technology must increase by over 40% on current levels if demands are to be met.

Of all STEM skills, those in mechanical and manufacturing engineering are becoming increasingly highly valued.

Here at Wrexham University, we aim to ensure that the MSc Engineering (Mechanical Manufacturing) comprises fit-for-purpose teaching and research experience to provide a solid background for a career in the engineering and manufacturing industry sector.

Many of the academic staff have industrial experience spanning a broad range of engineering areas and working levels. Many students from previous years are now in jobs at top international companies such as Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Alstom, and Airbus.

This course can be completed over 1 year full time, or 2 years full time.

The modules covered in this programme for full-time study are:

• Engineering Research Methods & Postgraduate Studies (Core)
• Engineering Design & Innovation (Core)
• Engineering Systems Modelling & Simulation (Core)
• Renewable Technology & Storage Integration Engineering (Optional)
• Intelligent System Design & Control Engineering (Optional)
• Design with Composites-Theory & Practice (Optional)
• Structural Integrity & Optimisation (Core)
• Digital Manufacture (Core)
• Dissertation (Core)
