Master’s study is very different to undergraduate study. You will
develop skills in critical analysis, you will hone your research
skills, and you will reach a much deeper level of learning.
Programme structure Our Master’s courses are one year in duration
and run from October to September.
Modules Modules are generally taught in intensive one-week blocks
from Monday to Friday, 9.00am - 6.30pm. Some modules are taught
over two weeks and you may be required to attend weekend sessions
on occasion. Module blocks are scheduled at intervals from October
to June. Please refer to the relevant course page for a list of
modules you’ll be required to study and to the website for further
information.
Modules are assessed by assignment, not exam, although for some
modules there may be a test that forms part of the assessment.
After each module, you will be assessed by a post-module assignment
(PMA) based on the learning objectives of that module, and will
consolidate your subject knowledge.
Project Each student undertakes a major individual research
project, which will develop your research and analytical skills,
whilst enabling you to specialise in a particular area relating to
your course. For most courses, the research component represents
50% of the Master’s credit and you should work on it throughout the
year, alongside your modules. The projects for Cyber Security, HOM,
e-BM and our two Automotive courses are worth 33% of your overall
Master’s grade; and the project for MBE contributes 100% of the
Master’s grade.
Project support You will have regular progress meetings with your
project supervisor throughout the academic year.
We provide extensive support to strengthen your academic and
research skills with regular workshops and seminars dedicated to
academic writing, project planning, research skills and
mind-mapping in addition to the research methodology module. Work
on your project runs alongside your module work and you are
expected to devote an appropriate portion on your time and
intellectual effort to the project throughout the year.
Master’s programme
Learning style Modules are taught though a range of blended styles
and activities: lectures, seminars, syndicate group activities,
industrial games, practical exercises and case studies, all of
which encourage teamwork and practical grounding of the material.
E-learning and forum activities are widely used to complement these
activities. By blending lectures with seminars and practical
exercises, we ensure that you are always interacting with your
peers.
Where appropriate, class sizes are kept small to encourage
interaction and
discussion. Larger scale lectures are delivered for some modules
and are backed up by seminar and syndicate activities. Our module
leaders are experts in their fields, able to draw upon their
industrial experiences and professional background throughout their
teaching.
Guest speakers from industry and government also contribute
regularly, bringing real-world insight into your learning
experience. There will be opportunity to attend lectures and
seminars from distinguished speakers and researchers throughout the
year.
GUEST SPEAKERS FROM INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT ALSO CONTRIBUTE
REGULARLY, BRINGING REAL-WORLD INSIGHT INTO YOUR LEARNING
EXPERIENCE.

“I found this course real ly st imulat ing. I t covered various
aspects and discipl ines relat ing to autonomous vehicles. This
overview has helped me ref ine the exact professional direct ion I
want to go in. Having guest speakers gave a unique boost to the
learning process, by showing us the requirements and chal lenges
faced by industry. My research project has led to a great job offer
here in the UK and I ’m excited to get started!”
