Digital Design and Manufacture MSc

University of Edinburgh

Programme description

Digital Design and Manufacturing refers to a convergence of complementary computing technologies that, in combination, have the potential to create an industrial revolution whose impact on productivity is comparable to the introduction of steam power or the adoption of mass production.

This course provides students with a broad understanding of the theories and practices required to enable successful implementation of these digital technologies in industrial applications.

This degree aims to: Develop your specific knowledge and provide a broad foundation in digital manufacturing and design technologies; Enable you to use computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques in industrial applications; Provide an analytical and critical framework to support fresh thinking in design and manufacturing.

Recent studies have identified digital skills gaps in a range of manufacturing and engineering worldwide industries. This means our engineering graduates will find many career options open up to them. Whether in research or industry, our students have a bright future in engineering and beyond.
