Course content

Take taught modules on cutting-edge additive, subtractive and hybrid manufacturing technology and apply this knowledge to a project supported by our world-leading research.

Course description

You'll learn about cutting-edge additive, subtractive and hybrid manufacturing technologies, spanning the entire manufacturing process, from supply of materials to final assembly. The taught modules are informed by world-leading research from the Centre for Advanced Additive Manufacturing (AdAM) and the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned to an industrially motivated research project. This is an ideal course if you are interested in pursuing a career in advanced manufacturing.

Accreditation

We are currently seeking re-accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) for 2024-25 entry.
