MSc Manufacturing Engineering and ManagementManufacturing engineers are employed in a wide range of industrial sectors from aerospace and automotive to pharmaceutical and food.

This course covers many aspects of Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management, and focuses on developing and integrating the knowledge, tools and techniques of advanced manufacturing technology and operations management. These skills are essential to many advanced manufacturing companies to ensure they remain competitive within the global supply structure and can improve productivity and quality, reduce costs, optimise their delivery of products and services and reduce their environmental impact.

Teaching is undertaken by experts in manufacturing and business and the syllabus comprises both compulsory and selective modules,

including flexible manufacturing, rapid product development, sustainable manufacturing, process capability, quality management, supply chain management, strategy and operations planning and also ergonomics and human factors.

Students will: visit a range of companies to appreciate current manufacturing practice develop knowledge and understanding of industrial methods and the needs of manufacturing industries undertake practical classes using some of our state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing equipment have opportunities for multi-disciplinary group activities, and group and individual presentations

Individual projectThe project is supervised by a member of academic staff from thedepartment or, in some cases, from the Nottingham University Business School. The project enables each student to work on a research or industrial area within advanced manufacturing technology or, in some cases, manufacturing management or human factors in manufacturing.

The project can also be undertaken in industry but this must either be arranged as part of an existing industrial sponsorship in the UK or overseas or you will need to apply to the company during the academic year.Previous projects have included: evaluation of micromachining systems design for microassembly

laser deposition in manufacturing waterjet cutting improvements in production set up times for a local company lean applications in a local aeroengine manufacturer composite manufacturing at a company in Kenya
