Who is it for?
This course is novel as it brings together technical and management skills in the digital theme. Our differentiator will be to take a systems perspective to design and develop digital technologies and solutions across manufacturing based industries. The unique selling point of the course is to move beyond raising awareness of digital technologies and processes, in to developing individuals to have the required capability and understanding to develop suitable solutions to key industrial problems.
For those who recognise the potential for a long and successful career utilizing digital technologies and solutions across the different phases of the life cycle for complex engineered assets. This course addresses the need for highly trained professionals that rely on digital technologies and solutions required to transform operations into a world-class business in all sectors of manufacturing and is suitable for:
Informed by industry
Our courses are designed to meet the training needs of industry and have a strong input from experts in their sector. Based on industrial engagement, the common feedback for the mode of delivery of the course was blended learning (roughly 10% on campus / 90% off campus). It was highlighted that in light of financial constraints there is a need to minimise travel needs and do block sessions. It was suggested that particularly Programming & Projects could be delivered remotely. We will also develop a model for face-to-face collaboration and networking to be hosted largely at Cranfield University – Bedford campus throughout the course that minimises the need to travel, but maximises the engagement among the participants. We also intend to arrange meet-ups at partner industrial sites as needed in the course.
Academic requirements A first or second-class UK Honours degree in a relevant science, engineering or related discipline, or the international equivalent of these UK qualifications. Alternative relevant qualifications, together with significant experience, may be considered. To study for a formal award with us you will need to demonstrate that you can communicate effectively in English in an academic environment prior to the start of the course. Most applicants meet our English language requirements by having previously obtained a higher education level qualification from a UK university. Applicants without UK qualifications can usually meet the English requirement through employment in the UK (a minimum of 5 years continuous employment immediately prior to the start of the course is required), providing you can supply a reference from your current employer which explicitly confirms you are able to communicate effectively in English. Apprenticeship requirements As part of all Higher-Level Apprenticeships in England (this includes all apprenticeship provision at Cranfield University), it is a requirement by the Education and Skills Funding Agency that an apprentice holds or achieves an approved level 2 qualification in Mathematics and English before they can successfully complete the apprenticeship. Such evidence can include GCSE/O Level grade C/4 or higher.
