The Advanced Engineering Management - Operations Management programme from University of BirminghamÊintroduces students to core management concepts in semester one before selecting one of four specialist pathways in semester two. Students also have the opportunity to choose a generalist pathway route, tailoring the course to their requirements.
Semester one modules are taken by all students to develop a firm base of general knowledge and techniques for further specialised management study. Delivered by leading academics in Birmingham Business School (BBS), theÊmanagement content is research led, drawing on the expertise and reputation of BBS to help deliver a high quality experience for students.ÊTopics include strategy, innovation, marketing, organisational behaviour and financial management.Ê
Semester two sees students move into a pathway of their choice, where the key management concepts tackled in the first semester will be complemented by the exploration of practical management applications by academics from the School of Engineering, drawingÊupon its wealth of research experience and industrial links.Ê
This new structure will allow us to present the core principles in semester one and then to demonstrate their application in semester two before you progress into the summer and the opportunity to investigate and develop a contemporary Engineering Management topicÊvia a 60 credit research project.
Examples of project titles:
- BP in the Global Oil Industry
- Human Resources Management at Royal Bank of Scotland
- Analysis of the Hellenic Steel Industry
- Strategic Repositioning of the BMW Group
You can expect to be exposed throughout to up-to-date knowledge of current and future trends in the management of your chosen field whilst developing the skills of critical evaluation and analysis that you will need as an engineer of tomorrow.ÊWe look forward to welcoming you.
