MSc(Res) Advanced Manufacturing Technologies with the AMRC
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering
We're one of the largest and most respected mechanical engineering departments in the UK. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise we came second in the league table of departments in our field.
About the course1 year full-time This course is run in collaboration with the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), a world-class centre for advanced machining and materials research. It covers the latest advances in manufacturing technology. Subject areas include: work holding, measurement and assembly, materials science solutions, and novel manufacturing techniques and processes. You'll also learn about the management of manufacturing innovation, from identifying products and processes through to integration. The programme includes a substantial research project that is at least 50 per cent larger than standard MSc programmes. It gives you the opportunity to address in depth a challenging and relevant topic. We offer a wide selection of advanced-level taught modules that will support your project topic and suit your individual needs. You'll have regular contact with at least two academics: your personal tutor and project supervisor. Optional modulesA range including:
Entry requirementsA 2:1 honours degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related course. If you have excellent qualifications in other science/engineering subjects such as maths or physics, or have appropriate professional experience, we'll consider your application. English language requirements for overseas studentsOverall IELTS grade of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent. Entry requirements for international students

You'll gain practical experience of research, including training in research methods and management that will prepare you for a career in industry. Recent graduates have gone on to work for Arup, Rolls-Royce and Network Rail. Alternatively, our courses are ideal preparation for further research at PhD level. "I am working on Detached Eddy Simulation of aerodynamic flows in CFD. I think my MSc brought me to a stage where I had a plethora of options to excel in my profession. After gaining my MSc degree with distinction, I continued on to a PhD. I have enjoyed the unique experience of Sheffield as a beautiful, safe and friendly city, as well as its academic excellence. I have been using the world- class computational facilities along with extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. Overall, it has been an experience I shall always cherish." Discovery and knowledgeOur reputation for excellence attracts world-class staff and students who are passionate about their subject. They’re involved in exciting, real-world projects like improving car designs or designing jaw replacements: things that will make a difference to our lives. We have a number of internationally renowned research centres that provide a focus for interdisciplinary activities and research. These include the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing, the Composite Systems Innovation Centre (CSIC), the Institute for Microstructural and Mechanical Process Engineering (IMMPETUS), the Leonardo Centre for Tribology, and the Low Carbon Combustion Centre (LCCC). International student supportAs an international student studying with us, you’ll get a full induction, personal tutor and additional English language support if you need it. Learning environmentWe have recently finished refurbishing a large section of our laboratory space and have invested over £350,000 in equipment for our teaching labs and mechanical engineering workshop, including new fatigue testing facilities and a 3D printer.
