This course has been designed with industry to meet the challenge of interdependence between sophisticated engineered systems of all kinds. It is often taken in its part-time format.

Engineers who have specialised in a traditional discipline are now often expected to understand, operate in and develop entire systems which are not only increasingly complex but rapidly changing.

The curriculum stimulates thinking and extends the capabilities of technical managers and engineers, enabling them to remain effective in the workplace by providing:

* an integrated systems engineering view of inter-related technologies, processes, techniques and their effective use
* essential systems skills such as model-based systems architecture and design, against a background of the need for traceability in managing complex projects
* knowledge and technical expertise in a range of systems technologies
* experience of the importance to ultimate success of effective, integrated, multi-skilled project teams working in extended enterprises beyond the confines of any particular organisation
* increased depth of technical and management knowledge through elective modules
* the ability to transfer systems skills and knowledge into the workplace through the industry-based individual masters project

Compulsory Modules * Systems Thinking
* Systems Architecture
* Systems Design
* Soft systems Engineering
* Individual Project

Optional Modules (choose four) * Validation and Verification
* Holistic Engineering
* Sensors and Actuators for Control
* Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Engineers
* Engineering and Management of Capability
* Understanding Complexity

Upper second class honours degree in electronic/ electrical engineering, physics or an equivalent qualification or equivalent industrial experience. Applicants with a good lower second class honours degree will also be considered. Candidates holding CEI Part II admitted.English languageAll applicants must have an acceptable qualification in English language before they can be admitted to any postgraduate programme. Below are the main English language qualifications acceptable for entry to the University (these are the minimum and some departments may require higher levels): * GCSE English Language Grade C or above * IELTS band 6.5 or above with not less than 6.0 in each sub test * TOEFL (ibt) 92 overall Listening 21, Reading 21, Writing 22 and Speaking 22 English Language Requirements IELTS band: 6.5 CAE score: (read more) Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) is part of the Cambridge English suite and is targeted at a high level (IETLS 6.5-8.0).

The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa. The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.

Scholarships and bursaries are available each year for UK/EU and international students who meet the criteria for award. For full details visit our fees and scholarships pages.

This programme is part of the Government Aerospace MSc Bursary Scheme, so you could have all your tuition fees paid, up to a value of £9,500. The scheme is designed to:

* generate more aerospace MSc qualified professionals with high level skills who will work in UK aerospace
* up-skill the existing UK aerospace workforce
* reinforce the supply of skilled people with knowledge and expertise in key areas of technology for the future.

Full details, including how to apply, are available on the Royal Academy of Engineering website
