Designed for industry professionals to fit around demanding careers, the course has been designed to develop the skills to lead change in business through digital technologies.

Who is it for? This course is novel as it brings together technical and management skills in the digital theme. Our differentiator will be to take a systems perspective to design and develop digital technologies and solutions across manufacturing based industries. The unique selling point of the course is to move beyond raising awareness of digital technologies and processes, in to developing individuals to have the required capability and understanding to develop suitable solutions to key industrial problems.

For those who recognise the potential for a long and successful career utilizing digital technologies and solutions across the different phases of the life cycle for complex engineered assets. This course addresses the need for highly trained professionals that rely on digital technologies and solutions required to transform operations into a world-class business in all sectors of manufacturing and is suitable for: - Experienced professionals who are seeking or are required to take on senior leadership roles within manufacturing or related organisations.

  • Early and mid-career professionals who want a "real-world" education that they can apply directly to their workplace.

  • Second career professional seeking a change into manufacturing or digitally driven organisation.

Informed by industry Our courses are designed to meet the training needs of industry and have a strong input from experts in their sector. Based on industrial engagement, the common feedback for the mode of delivery of the course was blended learning (roughly 20% face to face / 80% off campus).

It was highlighted that in light of financial constraints there is a need to minimise travel needs and do block sessions. It was suggested that particularly Programming & Projects could be delivered remotely. We will also develop a model for face-to-face collaboration and networking throughout the course that minimises the need to travel, but maximises the engagement among the participants. We also intend to arrange meet-ups at partner industrial sites as needed in the course.
