Overview
Overview
The global manufacturing sector is going through an important phase of digitalisation, driven by the changes brought by the 4th Industrial Revolution. This is impacting on how many manufacturing organisations organise their businesses and the technologies that drive it. This has led to the need to develop new type of engineers for working in these new areas where significant advances in automation and digital manufacturing are taking place.
Many organisations are using automation to drive up productivity and implementing digital technologies in their operations. By combining the two, we are seeing very different approaches to how manufacturing organisations run their factories and businesses and also benefiting from better planning and decision-making using technologies such as Digital Twins.
The Automation and Digital Manufacturing program at Middlesex University is designed to provide these new approaches which are highly sought after by organisations on a global scale. The course also benefits directly from this relationship by being a founding member of the Connected Curriculum project devised by these two organisations, bringing industry practices to academic courses.
The main focus of the MSc Automation and Digital Manufacturing is developing competent and highly sought after engineers with broad academic knowledge and high level of practical skills in automation systems coupled with relevant digital technologies in high-tech manufacturing industries.
