MSc Sustainable Design for Manufacture will prepare students for the growing need to minimise waste, reduce environmental impact, conserve energy, and reduce reliance on natural resources when creating products or services. Students will develop a well-rounded set of advanced engineering skills that focus on sustainable design and management. Throughout the course students will improve on their existing skills and awareness of mechanisms, such as cradle to grave, upcycling, recycling, life cycle and material flow analysis, material structure, and performance and sustainability relationships.
This course focuses on two key areas, design and management. Students will strengthen their knowledge of sustainability in design techniques, as well as the impact that poor design has on the manufacturer, the environment, and society as a whole. Students will learn more about leadership and innovation, globalisation, market boundaries, measuring performance, promoting growth through technology, and promoting entrepreneurship for the successful implementation of sustainable design techniques and strategies.
