This Masters in Electronics & Photonics Manufacturing introduces you to a broad spectrum of specialist topics in advanced manufacturing and electronics design. These topics involve the fusion of novel nanofabrication and microforming processes with material technologies within a manufacturing context. This programme provides the essential knowledge and practical experience of manufacturing techniques for modern industrial and consumer products and systems.

WHY THIS PROGRAMME

• You will take part in an interdisciplinary team project specifically designed to prepare you for engineering projects in industrial manufacturing, dealing with both technical issues and key non-technical issues such as legal, environmental and financial considerations.
• The school has an Athena Swan Bronze Award, demonstrating the school’s commitment to supporting women in scientific studies and careers, and to improving the working environment for all.
• MSc project options are either in collaboration with industry, or academic researchers in the Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment, Systems, Power and Energy, Aerospace Sciences, or Biomedical Engineering Divisions.

CAREER PROSPECTS

Our graduates are well represented in manufacturing companies and a wide range of industries in the UK and internationally. You will be well equipped for a variety of industrial career paths in manufacturing, depending on your choice of specialist optional courses.

Recent graduates from the School of Engineering have been employed by Apple, Bosch, Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover, BAE Systems, and Rolls-Royce, and in fact technologies developed in Glasgow have founded new spin-out manufacturing companies such as Compound Semiconductor Technologies Global Ltd (now part of Sivers IMA Holdings AB), and Intense Ltd (bought by ORIX USA Corporate Finance, but still manufacturing under the Intense name).
