About

The aim of the Industrial Systems, Manufacture, and Management programme offered by the University of Cambridge is to equip numerate graduates with the academic skills, personal development, and industrial experience to be immediately effective in their early careers in industry.

Overview

The Industrial Systems, Manufacture, and Management programme offered by the University of Cambridge is very different to any other academic course: it combines traditional academic teaching material with a series of industrial visits, industrial seminars, skills development and projects in industry. 

Industrial Systems, Manufacture, and Management is a very intensive programme that gives direct experience of many different industries, cultures and working environments. In addition to the lectures, the projects present real challenges in genuine industrial and business environments.

Industrial Systems, Manufacture, and Management will broaden your perspective and experience and open the door to a wide range of industrial careers. Many firms recognize the value of the course and target our graduates. Equally, for those who want to work in a smaller company, Industrial Systems, Manufacture, and Management gives the confidence to start directly in a manufacturing engineering or management role. Those with entrepreneurial flair go on to set up their own companies.

The programme is structured around taught modules, company visits and in-company projects solving live business or technical problems. An overseas study tour offers a broader international context and the individual research thesis allows greater depth of study in a specific area of manufacturing.

Learning Outcomes

You will be learning by having concrete experiences, like lectures, company visits or projects. You will then be guided to reflect and review these experiences and afterward to abstract and conceptualize these. Finally, you will experiment actively with new ideas to start having new experiences.

The overall aim is for you to acquire throughout the year a working understanding of the fundamentals of a business enterprise, with a particular emphasis on manufacturing disciplines. You will visit a wide variety of companies, large and small, chosen to cover all industrial sectors; you will absorb the different cultures and learn to identify strengths and weaknesses.

Skills acquired during the course include the following:
  • Critical analysis
  • Creativity – the generation of innovative solutions
  • Evaluation of designs, processes and products
  • Balancing theory and practice
  • Problem identification, definition and solution
  • Data gathering, evaluation and analysis
  • Effective communication written, verbal and graphic
  • Preparation of business and finance cases
  • Presentation preparation and delivery
  • Project management
  • Report writing
  • Team working
  • Appreciating the responsibilities of leadership
  • A "can do" attitude

Programme Structure

Teaching

  • Teaching is delivered through a variety of media. During Cambridge term times, there will be traditional academic lectures and interactive seminars; the dissertation is based in one of the Institute for Manufacturing's research groups and will involve normal graduate-level supervision.
  • Much of the learning during the course takes place during the industrial visits, and on the projects themselves. During the projects, students can expect to receive substantial "supervisory" feedback from their line managers and colleagues. Academic assessment of the course is split into two components: the first comprises assessments of the eight taught modules and project reports; the second consists of examination of the research dissertation.
