Advanced Manufacturing Systems and Technology MSc (Eng)

University of Liverpool

In modern manufacturing, engineers are being continuously challenged to make more effective use of technology, management systems, production techniques and processes. On this master’s degree, developed in conjunction with industry partners, we’ll equip you with skills to become an industry-ready engineer with advanced knowledge of manufacturing technology, management and systems. You’ll gain insights into manufacturing systems of different scales and examine how they function at each level. Material manufacturing and processing technologies will be introduced, including key factors in the selection of materials. Immersing you in computer aided design and robotics, we’ll introduce the latest 3D tools and techniques and reveal how to design, build and operate industrial robotic systems. The role of additive manufacturing in new product development will also be explored and you’ll discover how the principles of advanced manufacturing techniques using lasers are being adopted by industry. Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the programme includes a supervised independent research project. This provides the opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge in an area of manufacturing of your choice, supported by our specialist research facilities.
