In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, industry and government need the transdisciplinary approach of Systems Engineering to successfully create and sustain complex technical systems in tune with their environments.
Our industrially experienced academics teach Model-Based Systems Engineering, supported by essential systems thinking skills. This is the cutting edge of Systems Engineering and is rated excellent by employers. Our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to manage end-to-end engineering of complex systems to ensure smooth and efficient delivery.
Collaborating with over twenty industry leaders, we know the systems design skills and enterprise knowledge we develop in our graduates are directly deployable in the workplace, making this a highly relevant qualification for those seeking employment, and those already working in, complex systems technology.
You should have a Bachelor’s honours degree, typically a 2:2 or above. Ideally, you should have an undergraduate degree in an engineering or physical science.
We also welcome applications from mature students and recognise all other equivalent and international qualifications. Applicants with academic qualifications that do not meet the standard entry criteria may be considered if they have significant relevant work experience.

There are lots of options available to you to fund your master’s programme, from alumni bursaries to school and department scholarships and government loans.
Graduates of our 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 projects, giving them the opportunity to display newly acquired skills.
Recent graduates are employed by or have secured roles in a range of industries, at companies such as Alstom, BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, WSP, Network Rail, Uniper, UTC Aerospace Systems, Cummins, Babcock, UK Ministry of Defence and Inmarsat, to name a few, in positions such as graduate, systems, software and functional safety engineers.
