BSc Engineering with ManagementAdd to shortlist

Programme profile

Engineering with management is a wide-ranging engineering programme that is broad in scope and aims to develop both the technical and business aspects of engineering. Engineers are problem-solvers. They apply their practical and analytical skills to highly complex and varied problems. In almost every human endeavour, an engineer has been involved somewhere. They have created the designs and systems to make everything from gliders to space craft and ball-point pens to laser printers. 

However, in today's market, a qualification in engineering must also reflect the global commercial outlook of companies. Engineers are in demand because they are seen as people who can contribute greatly to productivity and competitiveness in the world marketplace.

Integrated engineering with management is concerned with the analysis, design, improvement, installation and management of integrated systems of people, finances, materials and equipment. It draws upon specialised knowledge in the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, together with a number of disciplines such as the management of people, finances, sales, marketing, production, project management and communications
