Course summary

One of only a few Engineering Management courses in the UK, our Engineering Management degree is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). It is concerned with the management of engineering within a business context and considers the problem solving of engineering, blended with planning, management and organisational elements of companies, taking projects from idea to delivery.

Engineering companies involve complex chains of materials and supplies procurement, tiered suppliers, production processes and customer delivery, alongside the technical expertise of the different engineering disciplines. Business models and frameworks apply equally to engineering disciplines as well as other commercial sectors, with the management of legal and contractual requirements, and human resource commitments.

Our Engineering Management course provides graduates with an understanding of basic engineering sciences and manufacturing processes. This allows the development of a solid foundation in engineering and technology vocabulary and understanding.

This material is partnered with a broad range of business strategy, business organisation, human management, resource management and project planning modules, which provide graduates with the skills to manage, across a range of engineering and technology disciplines. The priority is to interface and integrate these key activities with the business organisation and financial management of companies large and small, national and global.

Modules

For a full list of areas studied, see the 'What You'll Study' section of the course page on our website.

Assessment method

Lecture based modules are assessed by a combination of coursework and formal examinations taken at the end of each semester.

Project module assessments require written reports and technical presentations, preparing you for your subsequent career.

The proportion of coursework assessment is approximately 30% to 50% depending on degree course, semester/year and optional modules.

Additional fee information

The fees stated above are for the 2025/26 academic year; fees for 2026/27 have not yet been confirmed by the UK government. We will update this information as soon as it is available. Fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase to take into account inflationary pressures.

While the cost of your tuition covers lots of things, it doesn’t cover everything. For instance this course doesn’t cover the cost of any stationery, printing, books or re-assessments which you might need.

UK tuition fees align with the applicable fee caps set by the UK government, and as such they are subject to changes made to the agreed cap in a specific year.
