Master of Science in Advanced Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace

at University of Strathclyde United Kingdom

Studying a BA Economics & Finance degree at the University of Strathclyde Business School, you'll be learning at a pioneering internationally-renowned academic organisation. We were awarded Times Higher Education UK Business School of the Year in 2016.

Following the recent global economic crisis, economics is more important and relevant than ever. Decisions on money, banking, interest rates, taxation and government spending affect us all, with global consequences.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different agents in the economy – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together.

The Finance aspect of this degree will give you the skills for a career in financial services, such as banking, investment management, pension fund management, and insurance, as well as a wide range of business organisations. It will also be invaluable in helping you make personal financial decisions.

Our Finance degrees are unique in Scotland because of the range and depth of financial issues covered.

Product design engineering is an exciting industry that continually evolves alongside technology, product advancements, the demand for quicker turnaround times, unique and personalised products, and environmentally friendly supply chains and production.

It's about understanding product requirements and functionality, questioning existing ways of doing things and seeing opportunities to change things for the better.

Product design engineering blends a more technical engineering focus (such as mechanics, electronics, maths, engineering calculations of a products' design) with design principles, user experience, and technology to create new functional products or develop existing ones that can then be sold in competitive markets.

This is integrated with manufacturing processes, CAD, rapid prototyping and digital prototyping technologies, software and practical skills to turn the design into reality which is fundamental to global market success and requires not only customer appeal, aesthetics and brand awareness but also consistent and correct functionality, superior quality and fitness for purposes all at a competitive price.

Study with us

• Develop the skills to create fully-functioning new products which are visually appealing and efficiently manufactured
• Learn to combine virtual and physical design and prototyping in our digital design suite
• Undertake work placements in industry
• Opportunity to undertake an industrial group project with a design engineering organisation
• Professional accreditation by the Institution of Engineering Designers, Institution of Engineering and Technology and Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Accreditation

• Our Product Design Engineering degree has been awarded academic accreditation from two institutes. This demonstrates the degree meets the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) as outlined by the Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP).
• This accreditation is achieved through a panel of trained and expert accreditors looking closely at our programme’s content and delivery, including its relevance, coherence, challenge, assessment, staffing, quality assurance and resources.
• The Accreditors also monitor that the programme is continually improving and in line with the latest best practice, providing assurance to our students that they are getting a relevant and quality degree.

Computer science supports the build, development and use of computer systems and systems development is of great importance in many areas of modern life. There's a growing need across the world for skilled, advanced computer science professionals.
