About

Industrial organisations in different sectors have identified a gap in the market and the need for Engineers with good leadership and interpersonal skills in addition to their technical ability. The MSc (sandwich) Sensors, Data and Management at Liverpool John Moores University programme aims to be an interface between University and industry. It provides appropriate training to our students in interpersonal and leadership skills as well as the traditional technical skills explored in the modules and industrial placement*. Year 1 will be spent studying at LJMU. Year 2 is a paid industrial placement. 

The programme offers a fast route to charter status for local students while providing real industrial exposure for international students through its technical and interpersonal related courses, and the industrial placement* opportunity. 

Career

LJMU has an excellent employability record with 96% (HESA 2017) of our postgraduates in work or further study six months after graduation. Our applied learning techniques and strong industry connections ensure our students are fully prepared for the workplace on graduation and understand how to apply their knowledge in a real world context.
