The Systems Engineering MSc programme has been designed in collaboration with industry to meet the challenge of interdependence between sophisticated engineered systems of all kinds. Advanced modelling, simulation and interactive visualisation tools and techniques will enable you to gain greater understanding of the performance, behaviour and emergent properties of advanced technology and complex systems. You will have the use of advanced visualization techniques to enhance models and simulations of real-world systems, including cockpit simulators to study pilot behaviour toward stress and the impact this has upon their mental agility. Systems Engineering MSc programme emphasises model-based systems engineering, and is thus positioned at the cutting edge of academic and practitioner practice. To support this approach, you will gain an understanding and be encouraged to use appropriate systems-based computer tools across all modules. These range from the use of general tools and program environments such as those typified by spreadsheets, MATLAB, and Lab View, to more specific software such as System Architect, SysML toolsets, and Triz (the latter is used in product innovation). The software tools are pre-loaded onto machines in specific laboratories which are accessible outside teaching hours. These laboratories are supported by the School IT team throughout normal working hours; and on-line support is available in generous time slots throughout other parts of the day. Our academic team is internationally renowned for their research and industry influence, and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to each module. Throughout the programme, you will also receive insights from guest lecturers and industry practitioners that provide a real-world perspective to your learning. The programme is accredited by the Institute of Measurement and Control, the IET, and the Royal Aeronautical Society. There are also professional links to INCOSE-UK and the Object Management Group standards body. Graduates of Systems Engineering MSc will gain capabilities that are in global demand across a range of sectors and which can be applied to the challenges and issues posed by any complex system design and operation. Promotion within their company for sponsored students is common since the programme enables them to match higher job expectations and demands. Employed students often bring a work-relevant topic to their individual project giving the opportunity to display newly acquired skills.
