Advanced Manufacturing Technology

Overview

If you’re interested in manufacturing technology and you're ready to take your studies to postgraduate level, this is the perfect course for you.

On our MSc Advanced Manufacturing Technology course, you’ll learn about advanced design tools, materials, manufacturing processes and systems, and develop efficient and effective operation and management skills too.

There’s a shortage of experts in the manufacturing sector, so when you finish the course, you’ll have a Master’s qualification and the skills required to meet the demands of the industry.

You can start this in September (full time or part time) or January (full time only).

This course has been accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) meeting the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). The knowledge, skills and understanding you'll develop on this course will also help you progress to Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) level.

On this course, you'll:

• Use simulation and modelling application software for virtual design and manufacturing

• Utilise our strong links with companies and investigate real industrial problems to enhance your understanding

• Fuse the topic of your individual project with one of our research groups, and benefit from the expertise of our academics

There is plenty of help and advice on hand for international students that start from their arrival in Portsmouth. The university operates an orientation week that helps students find their way around the university and explore the services on offer. This also introduces them to the support services including those for academic and wider life and even meeting up with other students. These events are organised by the International Office, based within the Nuffield Centre who also organise events during the year and are point of call for international students. The Students Union offer a wide range of services as well as organising the clubs and societies for students to get involved with outside the classroom. The union was the first in England and Wales to register as a full charity in 2006 but has been in operation since at least 1911, when it published a magazine called The Galleon. It is now based in a building at the northern end of Ravelin Park and includes a student activities centre, a social learning space, a bar and a radio station. The clubs and societies at the university are organised into five different bodies: the Athletic Union, Societies, Student Media, Volunteering and RAG (Raising and Giving). There are some 40 plus sports clubs ranging from football and rugby to lacrosse, pole dancing and octopush, a type of underwater hockey. Societies includes everything from politics and lifestyle groups to a law society as well as the longest running paintball club in the UK.
