Overview

Build on your engineering knowledge, while you work, and develop your skills in the design and management of engineering systems in this degree apprenticeship.

As engineering systems grow more complex, the sector demands more professionals with an understanding of supply chains, design and simulation of systems, and applied systems thinking techniques. As you study for this Master's in Systems Engineering, you'll be studying topics like these, and you'll be encouraged to bring concerns and issues from your organisation in as projects to work on and solve.

We've developed the course with input from our industrial advisors to meet the needs of the current and future systems engineering sector, and of the busy professionals who work in it. You'll spend about 6 hours a week in guided learning on this course, and you'll have flexibility to fit the further reading and research around your workload.

You won't pay fees for this course; the Government or your employer cover the costs over the three years.

When you graduate, you'll have a professional mastery of managing complex systems and engineering teams - and evidence of putting your learning into practice.

Careers this Master's prepares you for
