Academic IELTS of 6.5 overall with no element below 6
A 2:2 or above honours degree or equivalent in a relevant engineering discipline, and/or suitable industrial experience. Electronics and electrical engineering degrees must contain an element of design and/or CAD/CAM.
Please note: each application is assessed on an individual basis and may be subject to additional requirements, such as undertaking short course(s), work experience and/or English language qualification(s). Meeting particular minimum entry requirements does not automatically guarantee a place.
This course examines the latest developments in digital product development and manufacturing. You will gain hands-on experience of the latest computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing applications, including 3D modelling techniques, 3D laser scanning, and 3D printing and computer numerical control machining.
You will also gain knowledge of analytical computer aided engineering design tools to assist the product validation process by applying advanced design simulation and finite elements analysis techniques Through an individual project, you will be able to extend your knowledge in a field of your choice, establishing yourself as a specialist.
The MSc will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a chartered engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng, will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.

What you will study
This programme is structured to provide you with the latest developments in this still-evolving discipline of digital product development. It focuses on providing you with hands-on experience of the latest computing applications throughout the entire product development cycle, from simple 3D modelling techniques to an extended capability of 3D laser scanning to generate complex Class A surfaces.
CAE 3D printing
Students also gain practical and theoretical knowledge of analytical design tools to assist the product validation process by applying advanced mechanism design simulation and finite elements analysis techniques. Additionally, examines the importance of advanced manufacturing techniques and the methods used to integrate Computer Aided Manufacturing CAM with computer numerical control, 3D printing technologies into product data management PDM.
Additionally, the programme enables you to gain the entrepreneurship, management and business skills necessary to take on leadership roles in major product design engineering projects.
The hands-on approach, using our state-of-the art multidisciplinary laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment from 3D Printing, CNC machining, Laser Scanning, Metrology, Materials Testing and many more, is a valuable part of the course. The course dovetails with research activities of the teaching staff, implementing the latest advances in our research. Utilising applied research, you have the opportunity to do your own research within an individual industry-relevant 'capstone' project. This includes preparation of a scientific paper, providing an opportunity for that first breakthrough into publishing your work.
Students will be required to pass every module to then go on placement. It is the responsibility of individual students to find a suitable paid placement. Students will be supported by our dedicated placement team in securing this opportunity.
