Course Summary

This course provides a great opportunity for STEM graduates to become valuable Industry 4.0/5.0 engineers with skills sets that support industry to grow and accelerate into economic recovery.

Overview

Investing in advanced manufacturing systems and technology enables industry to progress and face unprecedented situations. This has been evident during the coronavirus pandemic and the World Economic Forum (2020) identified companies who invested in this technology were more able to:

Adapt quickly to the current crisis, flip to new business opportunities and support Governments through the pandemic.
Ensure business resilience through the use of advanced manufacturing technologies.
Readily support safe COVID-19 manufacturing practices.

Shift happens, and result change is inevitable, therefore it is necessary for the industry to transform and adopt Industry 4.0 and 5.0 practices and technologies to alleviate COVID-19 impact on the manufacturing sector globally.

The MSc Advanced Manufacturing and Technology provides postgraduate provision that supports professional learning to support industries shift to advanced manufacturing as this is evidently the answer to supporting and accelerating the long-term economic recovery of industry to full capacity manufacture. The MSc has the potential to support engineering enterprise and regional businesses recovery from two factors BREXIT and COVID-19.

All about the course

The course has been co-designed with industrial engineers from across the UK and Europe from Toyota, CoorsTek, SLE different Rolls Royce divisions have contributed to verification and validation of the programme and module learning is industry relevant.

The overall consensus from industry was a warm welcome to this type of course, in particular the course would support your learning in Artificial Intelligence, mechatronics, PLC, advanced manufacturing technology from lasers to printing methods, and robotic technology and practical issues of health and safety, risk, security, inclusivity and ethics of the technology.

How you’ll be assessed

You will be assessed by both coursework and computer based assessments, essentially the programme is 100% coursework assessment. The coursework assessments will enable you to demonstrate the development of your key scientific and transferable skills. The course typically consists of coursework assessments submissions of (but not exclusive): computer scientific lab, logbooks, on-line quizzes, written reports, written scientific papers, discursive essays, stand-alone video presentations, walkthroughs, digital artefacts and poster presentations, professional portfolio.

Your future career

Graduates completing the MSc Advanced Manufacturing and Technology with Robotics could move into the following diverse engineering fields:

  • Research and Development (R&D) sector, researching and developing industry 5.0 co-location robots to support innovation in automation of life science laboratory and medicine activities.
  • Taking advantage of potentially transformative enabling technologies, such as Internet of Things, industry 4.0 robotics, and industry 5.0 robotics to transform manufacturing activities.
  • Sales and marketing of Industry 4.0/5.0 robotic and Internet of Things technology solutions for national, and export opportunities, has potential as a major growth opportunity for UK manufacturers.

Modules

The module learning will provide opportunity for students to learn and experience investigating and critically analysing Industry 4.0/5.0 technology.
