Engineering Business Management BEng (Hons) top-up

The course is structured around a deliberate cluster of modules, which aim to cover some of the most essential modern engineering management activities.

It aims to deepen your knowledge and capabilities in the key areas of quality management, lean manufacturing, operations, communication and information technology, business, policy and strategy, pervasive issues, supply chain management, business simulation and manufacturing process improvement.

Modules

• Individual Project Proposal
