Accredited by the Association of Project Management (APM), our course addresses the key concerns of project management, ensuring you graduate with the skills the industry demands. The skills that you gain will have an emphasis on engineering and industrial industries, but will also be transferrable across several different sectors to ensure that you become one of tomorrow’s leading managers in a variety of industrial sectors. As part of the course, you will develop these skills to an advanced level, which will make you a highly skilled manager and capable of managing complex industrial projects. There is a continued demand for competent, versatile postgraduates who can use industrial applications, and who can develop and implement innovative solutions for the manufacturing and industrial sectors. Professional Placement option This course offers an optional professional placement. This allows you to spend 20 weeks with an employer, following completion of your taught modules, and is a great way to enhance your employability. The experience you gain through your placement will allow you to evidence your professional skills, attitudes and behaviours at the point of entry to the postgraduate job market. If you choose the placement option, you will be responsible for finding and securing a suitable placement to complement your chosen area of study. You will be able to draw on the University’s extensive network of local, regional and national employers, and the support of our Careers teams. If you do not secure a suitable placement, you will automatically be transferred back to the standard, non-placement version of the course.
