About

About this degree

The MSc programme consists of 6 taught modules and 3 research activities. Five of the taught modules are compulsory and you may select one from a list of options. The apprenticeship also ensures that you will gain direct experience of applying the systems engineering process in real-world situations through significant relevant projects undertaken with your employer. The programme has been designed to map to the existing Systems Engineering Master’s Degree Apprenticeship standard. You will be assigned a UCL Personal Tutor and an Employer Mentor.

Who this course is for

Applicants must have current employment in an engineering/technology-focused organisation within the UK. They must have the commitment from their employer to provide the time and mentoring necessary for the vocational component.

What this course will give you

This MSc combines academic rigour with the practical expertise exemplified by our collaborators in UK industry and government.

The programme combines lectures, group exercises and case studies to reinforce key points. Lecturers are experts in the field, many of whom have engaged in the practice of systems engineering in industry, and all of whom oversee research across a broad range of subjects relating to systems engineering, project management and technology management.

Industry is operating in an environment where technology changes rapidly, and where global competition grows ever more intensive. The challenge to remain competitive means we must make the right thing at the right price. Our MSc equips graduates with the skills to meet this challenge.
