Applied learning Live projects
We encourage you to learn through the application of theories, concepts and knowledge to real-life situations (such as your own organisation) or by using case studies.
Our part time students can find that their masters projects are typically of significant importance to their companies and can raise their profile in the organisation.
The international product development module involves working in multidisciplinary teams to develop a new product in a global market. This develops much sought after advanced technical and business skills. The project provides a supported environment to develop your ability in an area of your interest.
Competitions
You can design, build and fly a remote-controlled aircraft as part of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Challenge in Snowdonia.
Apply to design, build and race a car as part of the Formula Student competition. This year our SHURacing team had its best ever performance.
