Our MSc Intelligent Maintenance Engineering degree will prepare you for a thriving career at the heart of the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ as advancements in artificial intelligence and smart machinery transform the way we work forever.
Today’s world demands high efficiency, quality and reliability from industry; products have to be made fast and without defects. This is only possible through the implementation of intelligent maintenance strategy in factories, plants and industry in general. Maintenance strategies are central to the smooth operation of complex industrial processes in a wide range of industries, including the automotive, pharmaceutical, nuclear, petrochemical and aerospace industries.
On this course you’ll learn how to apply the latest maintenance techniques to increase productivity and reduce intensive labour. As the so-called ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ takes shape, industry requires highly skilled professionals who are able to work and interact with automatic processes and machines; this is also true with maintenance.
A lower second class award of BEng (Hons) or BSc (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering, Material Sciences or other related subject
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. If you have not studied recently you may need to undertake a Top-Up degree Entry programme first
Access qualifications should normally be in an 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 lower than 5.5.
After graduating from this course you’ll be equipped to pursue a wide range of technical and management careers in the field of maintenance engineering based on mechanical plants. These roles could include asset management, plant maintenance and preventative maintenance.
After you graduate you will be well placed to take on a leading role as Industry 4.0 takes hold and organisations begin to implement new technologies incorporating smart machinery, artificial intelligence and the ‘Internet of Things.’
