With the transition to industry 4.0, digital design and manufacturing has become integral to society and is helping drive more efficient and less wasteful production processes. Our Digital Design and Manufacture programme will prepare you for a career in this rapidly changing industry by combining an advance knowledge of the digital technologies employed in advanced manufacture and key entrepreneurial skills. You will learn the fundamentals which underpin digital manufacturing sensing, automation, information, additive manufacturing, simulation and modelling and will explore how these interact with data and machine learning. How will I learn? You will deepen your knowledge through: our academic staff’s expertise on state-of-the-art technologies and emerging trends practical activities where you will benefit from our specialist resources and facilities our connections with industry gaining coding experience and using industry approved software and techniques an understanding how to interpret data into successful products opportunities to get involved in our world-leading research with an individual research project
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in Mechanical (including related variations and specialisms such as Agricultural Engineering, Navel Architecture, Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering) Manufacturing, Automotive Engineering or Industrial Engineering.
Competence in programming is essential. During your degree you must have completed a programming course in a high-level language (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, Matlab or equivalent).
If you apply with an academic background in another field you may be considered if you have completed the equivalent of 40 credits of courses related to manufacturing technology. Your marks for these courses must be equivalent to UK 2:1 as a minimum.
Examples of courses relevant to this degree are:
manufacturing systems
advanced manufacturing technology
industrial systems engineering
industrial information systems
industrial automation
fluid mechanics
finite element analysis
mechatronics
automation
additive manufacture
meterology and measurement
CAD/CAM
engineering materials
CNC (Computer Numerical Control)
metallurgy
This requirement may be partially met by relevant industrial experience. Applicants with non-standard backgrounds may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
