Master in Engineering Management and Logistics

The Master stems from a Ph.D. program that has been awarded a Quality distinction by the Spanish Education and Culture Ministry.

The Master qualifies for admission to the Ph.D. Program.

The increasing demand for engineers adequately trained in the field of management leads to the creation of this Master. Its aim is to complement the technological background that its students already have a strong preparation in the areas of organization and management specifically related to engineering.

This dual background (management and technology) prepares the candidates for management positions in the industrial and services sectors, with special focus on consultancy, particularly in areas such as purchasing, logistics, production, business process management, products, costs, maintenance and project management, as well as for R+D activities, preparing interested students for an eventual Ph.D. program....

The course covers a combination of the technical skills and management knowledge essential in the development of innovative solutions to complex technical business problems.

This course will provide you with a thorough understanding of:

leading technology and engineering projects; managing teams, engineering functions, and organizations; developing new products and services; designing and managing the supply chain; and the economic aspects and decision-making processes of engineering projects; and electromechanical systems.

The course will offer you the opportunity to acquire and develop the skills and tools necessary to progress to management positions within an organization. It will also build on your existing technical knowledge, relating it to the management aspects of the course by means of case studies and projects. The course balances academic theory with practical opportunities to demonstrate engineering management capabilities, and deliver solutions to real problems through assignments and projects.... [-]

The Master of Research (MRes) Engineering programme provides specialist study for graduates intending to work in research and development environments in a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines.

You'll develop your ability to apply engineering knowledge, your understanding of engineering principles and skills and gain an understanding of commitment to quality and standards to the practice of science and engineering.

The course is designed to enable you to organize and manage technologically advanced research, development, and production and also interact effectively in a global market. You'll acquire and use a broad base of active knowledge in various research technologies, and gain a broad and systematic understanding of the fundamental principles of a specific scientific or engineering area and its related topics....

LSBU offers several research centers or areas you could join:

Advanced Materials Big Data and Informatics Biomedical and Communications Energy and the Environment Intelligent Monitoring and Asset Management Robotics

A member of staff, an expert in the chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research programme. As a research student, you'll become part of our thriving academic community.... [-]

STUDY ENGINEERING IN THE UK

Across The Pond partners with some of the top UK universities for engineering, across a variety of disciplines. The UK has long been a major contributor to the innovation of engineering, and students who study in the UK benefit from intensive learning, opportunities to find placements at major engineering companies, and a concentration on both academic skill and employability.

BENEFITS OF STUDYING ENGINEERING IN THE UK

Shorter courses: Most Master’s programs are only one year long. Students can obtain a degree in a shorter amount of time compared to studying in Latin America. Funding from Latin American countries for these subjects is also available. Focus: UK universities do not require general education courses; students will be focusing on engineering from Day 1! Employment opportunities: Many universities in the UK focus on having staff that are active in their fields, helping to provide an employability perspective and to generate learning opportunities outside of the classroom. Furthermore, many engineering courses offer the opportunity to take on a placement, whether as an additional year on their degree or as a short-term opportunity during their degree. Either way, UK engineering students graduate with readiness to work. ... [-]

What will I learn?

Our accredited Engineering degrees develop an in-depth understanding of the principles of engineering, with teaching from a wide range of automotive, civil, electronic, systems, manufacturing and mechanical engineering experts, and options to specialise in areas that interest you during your second year. These courses are led jointly by academics in the School of Engineering and WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group). Interdisciplinary projects enable you to tackle challenges that could range from engineering a robot to rescue victims in a collapsed building, to designing and building a nano-satellite. You will develop sought-after skills including a multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving, the ability to manage projects and communicate ideas, and the capacity to lead, research, design, innovate and develop products and systems....
