UU are running a DfE-supported postgraduate course in Smart Manufacturing Systems at the Magee Campus.
Five core technologies that are essential to raise the development of manufacturing and productivity to the levels required in the next 50 years are; Artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, automation, internet of things (IoT) and industrial digital technologies (IDTs).
The vast majority of industrial and commercial organisations in N. Ireland are substantially under-prepared for the challenges presented by these advances in technology and will need significant support to develop the capability and capacity to survive, compete internationally with innovative products while extracting greatly increased efficiencies from their processes.
Smart Manufacturing Systems draws on each of these 5 key enablers to provide a platform for development where intelligent factories be come the norm with connectivity data and IDTs at the heart of the workplace.
Students who complete this Postgraduate Certificate can then go on to study for the full MSc Smart Manufacturing Systems, starting in September 22.
This programme will be taught in three 20-credit modules with teaching commencing in September 2021 and ending in May 2022. This course will be offered as a Full-Time (F/T) and a Part-Time (P/T) which will be campus based (Magee) with blended learning.
- In full-time, students will complete the three 20-credit modules between Sept – Dec 2021.
