Engineering management requires an understanding of how decisions affect delivery, resources and the people doing the work. This programme connects these responsibilities with postgraduate management study, helping learners consider the wider business context of technical activity.
The curriculum combines project approaches, organisational strategy, leadership, supply chains and data analysis. An extended transformation project provides a focus for bringing these areas together.
