Program Overview

Course Details

Our MRes Engineering Management (Postgraduate Engineer Apprenticeship Route) is designed to support the development of professionals that will match the current and future needs of your organisation. You can offer structured on-the-job training and an internationally recognised qualification in engineering management, helping you attract the best new talent and retain valued staff through career progression. Integrating study into the normal working week will allow your apprentices to put their new skills and understanding into practice immediately, benefitting your organisation without delay.

Postgraduate engineers develop solutions to engineering problems using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change and may have technical accountability for complex systems. This postgraduate course will support your apprentices to develop the theoretical knowledge needed to solve technological problems by applying analytical techniques, along with the project, financial, and personnel management skills and understanding required for commercial success.

Our expert staff will guide them as they develop effective project planning and management skills, gain postgraduate research and problem-solving skills, and learn when to seek advice from subject experts and senior colleagues. Your apprentices will spend most of their time in the workplace, with a minimum of six hours per week being devoted to off-the-job training and university learning, which is usually facilitated on a day-release basis.

Our dedicated team will cover integrated management systems and techniques for quality, sustainability, lean and innovation. Your apprentices will also explore the essential elements of business management, including leadership, human resource management and marketing, and develop essential skills such as communication and time management. Throughout the course, we’ll guide them as they build a portfolio of evidence representing the projects and tasks they have completed while working as part of your team.

The course is designed to meet professional institution standards in the UK and to support you to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

If you’re looking for postgraduate-level training in this subject area but don’t work for an employer who is offering apprenticeships, please see our related courses section for details of study opportunities that don’t require current employment.

Highlights

  • When apprentices successfully complete the end point assessment for this course, they will receive a Postgraduate Engineer Apprenticeship Certificate from the relevant awarding body, and be awarded an academic degree – the MRes Engineering Management from the University of Bolton.
  • Face-to-face sessions and one-to-one support are offered by our dedicated staff team who offer a wide range of professional experience, industry knowledge, technical expertise and academic credentials.
  • During the final stage of the course, your apprentice will undertake a substantial work-based research project, the nature of which will be identified and developed through consultation between your organisation and the University. As well as offering your apprentice valuable experience, this live project can offer you genuine insight into potential opportunities or improvements that can benefit your organisation.
  • Your apprentices will have the option to gain an industry-recognised project management qualification assessed by an external provider. The details and costs of this qualification are in development and details will be available prior to their enrolment on the course.

    • Key Features

  • This Postgraduate Engineer Apprenticeship skilfully combines study in our vibrant higher education environment with practical and focused work-based learning and experience in your organisation.
  • Course materials are available online, allowing your apprentices to prepare work in advance and make the most of the highly interactive in-class tuition.
  • Our approach to teaching and learning is ‘student-centred’ so we’ll work with your apprentices on an individual basis, providing tailored help and support throughout their studies.
  • By studying alongside apprentices from other engineering specialisms or alternative industrial sectors, your apprentices can benefit from a wider range of knowledge and experience that supports cross-disciplinary thinking.
  • We also offer Master’s degrees in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management, and these apprenticeships are part of a well-established suite of master’s programmes offered by the University of Bolton.
  • Quarterly and annual reviews, where each apprentice, their workplace mentor and a member of our team meet to assess your apprentice’s progress, promote continuing conversation between your workplace and the University. This helps to ensure the success of your apprentices and maximise the value of their studies to your organisation.
