Our MSc in Additive Manufacturing gives you the skills to use these new technologies to their full potential. This is an advanced course with an emphasis on the design, analysis and implementation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) projects.
The course is suitable for engineers who have recently graduated as well as those with experience. It’s an opportunity to extend your knowledge in Additive Manufacturing or update your qualifications with a view to promotion or a specialist role.
It will equip you with the engineering knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop AM strategies for real-world problems. We will use modern scanning equipment and mesh editing software to reverse engineer parts, and we’ll use modern CAD tools including topological optimisation to design parts for AM.
Entry can be made to the course through holding at least a lower second class award of BEng (Hons) or BSc (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering, Product Design, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Motorsports Engineering, Energy Engineering, Maintenance Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or Product Innovation
Applications from individuals with non-standard qualifications or relevant work / life experience who can demonstrate the ability to cope with and benefit from Master-level studies are welcome
Access qualifications should normally be in a Mechanical Engineering subject or a related area
Students whose first language is not English will be required to demonstrate competence in the language. The normal minimum standard required is IELTS 6.0 with no component score lower than 5.5 or equivalent.
