MSc Engineering

Abertay University

MSc Engineering integrates the theory and practice to prepare professionals who can lead and manage in engineering contexts. You’ll gain new knowledge, understanding and application of practice, as well as critical, evaluative, and reflective skills in areas including engineering, sustainability, management, and health and safety. This programme is suited to graduates from non-engineering disciplines looking to work in the engineering industry. You’ll cover topics central to engineering practice today, enhancing your project leadership skills, learning how to critically appraise renewable energy projects, and recommend sustainable energy solutions to organisations. Finally, you will demonstrate your learning through an independent research proposal and project. You will study entirely online and part-time, with the flexibility to fit your studies in around work, family and life commitments. Start your studies within weeks, even if outside of the traditional academic year, with six starts per year.

This MSc Engineering programme provides the skills to lead and coordinate engineering teams with expertise in project management, facilities management, and effective communications, enabling you to successfully navigate complex engineering projects and drive organisational growth. You will also develop your leadership and interpersonal skills, explore diverse technologies, such as biofuels, and learn how to analyse risk, develop continuity plans and help organisations integrate sustainability into their decision-making.
