Programme specification

This online Engineering Management programme provides a research-led student education that draws on the expertise of several academic schools within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as Leeds University Business School and the Faculty of Environment. This collaborative approach provides students with a comprehensive understanding of engineering management principles, integrating ethical practices and sustainable development as core themes throughout the curriculum. Students will become effective leaders, fully conversant with trends in technology and capable of making ethically informed decisions in the face of rapidly evolving technological landscapes. They will be equipped to integrate sustainability considerations into engineering management practices, driving innovation and contributing to a more sustainable future.

This programme will provide a unique multi-disciplinary approach to education in Engineering Management. Through a collection of individual and group work, students will engage with a wide range of case studies, sometimes in specialised areas with peers from the same discipline, and sometimes in multi-disciplinary teams. This experience will foster a unique understanding of contemporary management education combined with a broad view of technological developments across various engineering disciplines, from nanotechnology to smart cities. In terms of delivery, the programme will offer an industry-leading online learning experience, including accessible and inclusive professional-quality learning resources, a wide range of interactive and collaborative learning opportunities, asynchronous and synchronous video/audio online classroom tools, group working activities, case studies, flexible learning opportunities, learning dashboards, digital feedback on assessments, access to key external learning resources, and online tutor support. Students will normally study one module at a time, allowing for a focused and in-depth learning experience.
