Get to Know The New Master by Research (MScR) in Mechanical Engineering at NSIRC with Brunel University!
We are excited to announce that NSIRC, in collaboration with Brunel University, has launched a new Master by Research (MScR) in Mechanical Engineering. This programme offers flexibility to both recent undergraduates and working professionals to complete the degree in two years with part-time study, with the option to extend the duration as needed.
This unique approach enables professionals to complete the degree in a short time and balance their careers while gaining advanced research skills, ultimately positioning them for career advancement and preparing them for leadership roles. Additionally, the programme allows working professionals to utilise earned Continuing professional development (CPD) credits, subject to approval, towards the requirements for Master degree. This means, if you have cumulative 60 credits or 120 credits you’d be eligible to pursue a research project and upon successful completion of the project you’ll earn an Msc or MScR degree.
The new degree combines coursework with a substantial research project, allowing students to specialise in areas of interest. This intensive research experience provides students with valuable skills and prepares them for advanced careers in mechanical engineering, or fast-tracks them to a PhD, allowing them to work on a research project for an additional two years and obtain two degrees within three years.
The MScR programme features three specialised areas:
-
Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering: Focuses on material and structural response, lightweight design, and advanced simulation software. It aims to equip graduates with skills to design innovative and efficient structures for industries including aerospace, automotive, and transportation.
- Oil and Gas Engineering: Covers oilfield installation design, numerical modelling, testing, and inspection techniques, ideal for professionals working in the oil and gas sector.
- Structural Integrity (Asset Reliability Management): Focus on defect detection, assessment and asset management strategies to extend the lifespan of critical infrastructure, making it ideal for professionals in civil engineering, construction, and power generation industries.
Specialisations allow students to develop more in-depth knowledge and practical skills that are tailored to their area of interest and their organisation's specific challenges.
The Brunel University Masters in Mechanical Engineering Research at NSIRC is a unique programme designed to empower individuals and shape the future of engineering. By offering flexible study options, specialised tracks, and a strong emphasis on research, we provide students with the tools and knowledge to excel in their chosen careers.
Don't miss out on this chance to transform your potential into reality! Whether you're a recent graduate seeking to deepen your expertise, or a working professional looking to advance your career and make a significant impact through industrial innovation, this programme would be ideal for you.
