Course summary

Our Engineering Design MSc is a unique course that combines aesthetics and form of industrial design with the functionality, structural integrity and reliability of engineering. Our programme enables you to work effectively and successfully in an engineering design role, whether it concerns the design of products, processes or systems. A balance of theory and practice is applied to the solving of real engineering design problems and all projects meet the product design requirements of one of our many cooperating companies. The programme is devised to meet the challenges of the rapidly changing global market; the availability of well-designed products, processes and systems is the foundation of successful commercial enterprises.

These placements are arranged in collaboration with our existing industrial partners and alumni contacts and aim to provide you with hands-on practical experience, working on appealing projects relevant to your MSc.
