Course Overview

The MSc in Engineering Management is a UK Level 7 postgraduate degree postgraduate degree that runs one year full-time or two years part-time across on-campus, online and distance-learning routes. The programme is designed for senior engineers advancing into management responsibility for teams, budgets and multi-year technical delivery programmes, and cohorts progress together with weekly tutor visibility, structured critique and formative feedback across every module. Delivery is aligned to UK professional-body standards including APM, PMI, BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and the syllabus draws on current practice inside the technology management and professional practice community across London and the wider UK.

By the end of the MSc in Engineering Management you will be able to run a multi-project engineering portfolio; produce a capital expenditure business case; manage a distributed engineering team; brief senior stakeholders on delivery risk; deliver a research-informed dissertation. Assessment blends coursework, applied artefacts and a closing project, capstone or dissertation depending on the level, and marks are moderated to UK Level 7 postgraduate degree standards. Every module includes reflective practice and structured written communication, so graduates leave the programme with a portfolio of assessed work that stands up to external professional review.

Why Study at LSCE

The London School of Computing and Engineering is a specialist division of Harold International College of London teaching in small tutor-visible cohorts. LSCE partners with UK professional bodies including APM and BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and the central London campus places students within a short tube ride of APM London chapters, Silicon Roundabout scale-ups, Whitehall digital delivery teams and City consultancies. This proximity to the technology management and professional practice community means guest speakers, placement conversations and industry-attended review boards are routine rather than exceptional.

Every intake joins the same weekly seminar structure with named programme-tutor support, whether the applicant chooses on-campus, fully online with provisioned lab access, or distance learning with the same remote provisioning. Three parallel study modes make the MSc in Engineering Management accessible around work, family and international relocation timelines, and the careers service maintains a working contact book across UK employers in the technology management and professional practice sector to support progression at graduation.

Students at LSCE also benefit from the wider Harold International College resources, including a shared library, careers-service connections and elective-module access across the college programme catalogue subject to availability. Applicants routinely combine the LSCE cohort experience with London professional-body events, regional meet-ups and employer-hosted evenings, so the UK sector network is visible from induction onwards rather than only at graduation.
