MSc Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing, or 3D printing, is an exciting new field using diverse technologies for equally diverse applications. It’s now possible to print everything from aerospace parts to biological tissue and even houses.The MSc in Additive Manufacturing gives you the skills to use these new technologies to their full potential. This is an advanced course with an emphasis on the design, analysis and implementation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) projects.The course is suitable for engineers who have recently graduated as well as those with experience. It’s an opportunity to extend your knowledge in Additive Manufacturing or update your qualifications with a view to promotion or a specialist role.It will equip you with the engineering knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop AM strategies for real-world problems. We will use modern scanning equipment and mesh editing software to reverse engineer parts, and we’ll use modern CAD tools including topological optimisation to design parts for AM. Access world-class facilities in additive manufacturing, materials testing, tribology and computer-aided engineering, including the University’s Additive Manufacturing and Materials Testing labs, engineering and CNC workshops, a metals and 3D workshop, and a rapid prototyping suite.Our graduates have found careers as:Additive Manufacturing Engineers
Digital Manufacturing Engineers
Design Engineers
R&D Engineers, Additive Manufacturing Technicians
As well as winning competitive PhD scholarships. We have several initiatives to support you to start your own business and we continue to offer this support after you graduate.Our sandwich degrees offer the perfect blend of academic study and practical work experience, allowing you to build confidence in the workplace and graduate work-ready from your degree programme.
Our previous graduates have found their sandwich year particularly beneficial as it has allowed them to gain practical, hands-on experience within their chosen career and the opportunity to learn directly from professionals based out in industry. It is not uncommon for sandwich year programmes to also open up future work opportunities in similar fields or professions for our graduates.
