Master’s in Design Engineering

The Master’s degree programme in Design Engineering is a two-year course that trains graduates to work at all stages of the industrial process: general or detailed design, choice of materials, implementation, development, processes and maintenance. They are equally proficient in modelling, optimisation and the development of products or new materials.
