Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
The Technology Management Group of UCL’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL) and UCL Centre for Systems Engineering (UCLse) have pooled expertise to develop this exciting programme, which equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a career in technology management or engineering management.
Students learn about the challenges and opportunities of working with new and legacy technology, and are introduced to key concepts such as technology maturity, lifecycles, risk, reliability and resilience. Systems and strategic thinking and the importance of the enterprise context are promoted throughout. The research elements aim to instil a deep knowledge of at least one area of technology management with industrial relevance.
The MSc programme requires completion of eight 15-credit modules and one 60-credit module.
The 15 credit modules include five compulsory taught modules, one optional taught module, and two minor research modules: the Project Concept module and the Emerging Technology Review (ETR) group project. The 60-credit module is the final research module.
It is recommended to choose one of Project Management or Transformation for Sustainability as the option module, although there are other alternatives.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. A lower second-class degree supported by significant relevant work experience, such as two or more years of paid work experience in a technology project context, may also be considered.
