New MSc courses
Sheffield Hallam University, UK, in
association with the National Metals
Technology Centre (NAMTEC), UK, has
launched two new postgraduate MScs
that have been specifically developed to
meet employer and employee needs in
the metals and manufacturing sector.
The two courses are titled MSc Materials
and Manufacturing Management, and
MSc Advanced Engineering Metals, and
are part of the university’s Materials,
Manufacturing and Management Post-
graduate Programme. The courses are
open to those employed in a relevant
area, and most students study on a part-
time basis while in full employment. It is
also possible to study individual modules
from the courses through the university’s
Individual Study Programme.
Both courses have been designed
following extensive consultation with
technical specialists at NAMTEC and
employers in the engineering, metal and
manufacturing sectors, including Corus,
Sheffield Forgemasters, TiMet, Allvac and
Outokumpu.
Course structure and content reflects the
changing demands of the metals and
manufacturing sector, as David Clegg,
course leader from Sheffield Hallam
University explained: “These courses
equip candidates with the knowledge
and expertise essential for developing
and exploiting materials, metals and
manufacturing issues. We are delighted to
be working with NAMTEC to deliver these
courses which combine best practice with
real life case studies and the opportunity
to interact with industry experts.”
