Master of Science [M.Sc] [Engineering Project Management] From Lancaster University

The flexibility of the course makes it suitable for engineers from all disciplines. Over the year, you will choose from a selection of mechanical, electronic, communication systems and chemical engineering taught modules. This gives you the opportunity to focus on a specific theme or take a more interdisciplinary approach.Alongside these technical modules, you will also learn professional and managerial skills and gain experience of these. For example, you will learn about techniques for planning and controlling a project, examine the financial and commercial aspects of projects, and get the opportunity to apply project management skills in a team project. As a result, you will graduate with a wealth of technical skills and experience, and the specialist knowledge to take your career to a senior engineering or leadership level.The course has a strong practical element, drawing on case studies, workshops, projects with local industry and a substantial summer project, which means you will graduate with an increased range of skills and the confidence to apply them in the real-world.As part of the course you will also select and complete a dissertation project that is usually guided by an academic or industrial partner. This will allow you to bring together everything you have learnt and gain valuable real-world experience of working as a professional engineer. The project gives the opportunity to develop and demonstrate technical and project management skills, which is an experience that is invaluable when applying for jobs.
