Master's Degree graduates have

• ability to use diverse methods to communicate clearly and unambiguously their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences in national and international contexts
• ability to function effectively in national and international contexts, as a member or leader of a team, that may be composed of different disciplines and levels, and that may use virtual communication tools.

Master's Degree graduates have

• ability to analyse new and complex engineering products, processes and systems within  broader or multidisciplinary contexts; to select and apply the most appropriate and relevant methods from established analytical, computational and experimental methods or new and innovative methods; to critically interpret the outcomes of such analyses
• ability to conceptualise engineering products, processes and systems
• ability to identify, formulate and solve unfamiliar complex engineering problems that are incompletely defined, have competing specifications, may involve considerations from outside their field of study and non-technical – societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial – constraints; to select and apply the most appropriate and relevant methods from established analytical, computational and experimental methods or new and innovative methods in problem solving
• ability to identify, formulate and solve complex problems in new and emerging areas of their specialisation.

Master's Degree graduates have

• ability to develop, to design new and complex products (devices, artefacts, etc.), processes and systems, with specifications incompletely defined and/or competing, that require integration of knowledge from different fields and non-technical – societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial commercial – constraints; to select and apply the most appropriate and relevant design methodologies or to use creativity to develop new and original design methodologies
• ability to design using knowledge and understanding at the forefront of their engineering specialisation.

Master's Degree graduates have

• comprehensive understanding of applicable techniques and methods of analysis, design and investigation and of their limitations
• practical skills, including the use of computer tools, for solving complex problems, realising complex engineering design, designing and conducting complex investigations
• comprehensive understanding of applicable materials, equipment and tools, engineering technologies and processes, and of their limitations
• ability to apply norms of engineering practice
• knowledge and understanding of the non-technical – societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial – implications of engineering practice
• critical awareness of economic, organisational and managerial issues (such as project management, risk and change management).

Master's Degree graduates have

• ability to identify, locate and obtain required data
• ability to conduct searches of literature, to consult and critically use databases and other sources of information, to carry out simulation in order to pursue detailed investigations and research of complex technical issues
• ability to consult and apply codes of practice and safety regulations
• advanced laboratory/workshop skills and ability to design and conduct experimental investigations, critically evaluate data and draw conclusions
• ability to investigate the application of new and emerging technologies at the forefront of their engineering specialisation.

Master's Degree graduates have

• in-depth knowledge and understanding of mathematics and sciences underlying their engineering  specialisation, at a level necessary to achieve the other programme outcomes
• in-depth knowledge and understanding of engineering disciplines underlying their specialisation, at a level necessary to achieve the other programme outcomes
• critical awareness of the forefront of their specialisation
• critical awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering and of knowledge issues at the interface between different fields.

Master's Degree graduates have

• ability to engage in independent life-long learning
• ability to undertake further study autonomously.
