Special Features
Nearly every form of modern human activity involves the use of technology in one form or another. Our courses are designed to prepare you for challenging careers in a wide range of organisations where the effective management of technology is crucial to success. What degrees are available?The philosophy behind all five courses is that most problems in the modern world are multi-dimensional and require a broad approach in order to solve them. All the courses do not therefore seek to produce narrow specialists, but instead to develop individuals who, through their understanding of a wide range of management and technology subjects, have the skills to produce creative and original solutions to the inter-linked problems that arise in modern organisations.
Success for the modern organisation is a complex task dependent upon the collaboration of individuals with expertise in areas such as design, marketing, manufacturing, engineering, sales, finance and computing. This course aims to produce highly dynamic and professional managers who can draw together such diverse groups and succeed at the highest levels. The course is a multidisciplinary course, with a roughly equal balance between appreciation of the human, economic and social framework in which business and industrial activity take place, and study of technologies used in modern industry. This course has constantly evolved to stay at the forefront of new management practices and technological advances, and its graduates have continued to be highly sought after by employers.
This is a multidisciplinary course which places equal emphasis on specialist
IT topics and modern business management subjects. It aims to produce
industrial and commercial managers who are familiar with all aspects of
technology that they are likely to encounter. It encompasses a wide range
of information technology topics but is not intended to be purely for
IT specialists as there is an equally strong emphasis on ‘people
skills’ and group dynamics. The ability to integrate knowledge from
diverse areas is built into the course at a high level and gives it particular
appeal to potential employers.
This course is designed to keep pace with rapid technological developments and provides three key themes: software engineering, computing and programming; mobile telecommunications and networking; and business studies and commerce. The programme will enable you to pursue highly profitable career opportunities in this new arena by giving you the skills and knowledge to develop E-commerce applications, understand the business environment in which E-commerce will grow, and to understand and exploit the telecommunications systems on which the Internet is founded. The course features the study of management, finance, marketing and related business subjects. Due to the wide range of innovative teaching methods, graduates from this course develop a very high level of personal initiative that is very attractive to employers.
Industrial Engineering is currently the only course of its type in the UK, but is the most popular engineering discipline in the US and across much of Europe and Asia. It combines several branches of engineering with manufacturing and management. The course involves the study of manufacturing and engineering systems, product development and design, automation and robotics, and is intended for individuals who wish to take advantage of the growing number of management opportunities arising from the growth of global corporate manufacturing operations.
Modern society is dependent upon the application of engineering principles for its wealth creation and standard of living. This course provides an in-depth understanding of engineering principles and techniques coupled with the practices and techniques employed by modern management. The course is intended for those who wish to pursue management careers in engineering-focused organisations, but who wish to acquire a broader perspective of engineering subjects, rather than just specialising in a single discipline.
Those without the required qualifications can consider our engineering foundation year. This brings your mathematics and physics skills up to the level required for the normal first year of our courses. See Our Engineering Foundation page. Are there any placements available?The three- and four-year courses have exactly the same academic content, with the four-year option including one year's industrial placement. The placement year provides a unique opportunity to see the links between the academic subjects studied at University with their application in the workplace - whilst being paid! Placements are undertaken in a wide variety of organisations and a full-time member of staff is on hand to help you find the right one. Satisfactory completion results in the additional award of a Diploma of Industrial Studies. How will I be assessed?Most modules are assessed at the end of each semester, usually by a combination of formal examinations and coursework. What are the career prospects?The multidisciplinary nature of all the courses allows students to pursue careers in a wide range of organisations. In recent years, our graduates have embarked upon rewarding careers in general management, IT, E-Commerce, Marketing, Finance and Human Resources, as well as technical positions in engineering-focused organisations.
