Master of Science in Sustainable Engineering - Offshore Renewable Energy

at University of Strathclyde United Kingdom

Our MSc in Product Design will provide a thorough training in design theories and methods including product aesthetics and human-centred design, as well as the utilisation of advanced design techniques in digital modelling and physical rapid prototyping of design solutions.

The course will appeal to graduates of courses in industrial/product design or innovation-related courses who wish to influence future thinking and practice design.

Studying within our Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management, you'll have access to some of the leading academics in the whole product development life cycle and benefit from their experience in industry, current research projects and advancements in those fields.

We are the only department in the UK that combines end-to-end multidisciplinary expertise from creative design, through engineering design, manufacture and management of the entire system. This is more commonly split between art school and engineering faculties; however, we can provide you with a broader understanding of the overall process and expertise in each area, in a single department.

Study with us

• Gain enhanced skills in product design
• Learn about products aesthetics and human-centred design, digital modelling and rapid prototyping
• Suitable for graduates from industrial/product design or innovation-related courses
• Aims to provide graduates not only with enhanced skills in creative product design, but a deeper understanding of the cognitive, cultural and physical needs of users that inform new product design and development

Microbiology is the study of the smallest living organisms (micro-organisms or microbes), which include viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. Microbes are a major cause of disease in humans but are useful in industrial processes from pollution control to the treatment of disease.

This Masters degree is for students who want to specialise in a single biomedical science. It’s particularly relevant if you want to pursue a research career.

In Years 1 to 4, you’ll follow the same curriculum as one of the joint Honours biomedical sciences degrees. In Year 5, you’ll focus on developing research skills and knowledge. A significant part of this course is project-based.

Study with us

• A five-year integrated Masters degree with entry into either Year 1 with Highers or Year 2 with Advanced Highers or A Level
• Study the smallest living organisms (micro-organisms or microbes), which include viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa
• Our courses are underpinned by our strong research base, links with industry, the NHS and international partners
• Integrated masters, research-led fifth year
