M.Tech in Systems Engineering
A two-year postgraduate programme focused on architecting, integrating and managing complex engineering systems across industries.
M.Tech in systems engineering overview
The programme prepares graduates to design and manage complex systems by combining engineering depth with systems thinking, modelling and lifecycle approaches. Students experience:
Systems thinking and architecture
Learning how complex systems are structured, integrated and evolved across full product and service lifecycles.
Modelling, simulation and optimisation
Building strong analytical capability using system dynamics, simulation, optimisation and data-driven methods.
Interdisciplinary problem solving
Applying systems approaches to challenges spanning hardware, software, operations and management.
Research and industry readiness
Design projects and a substantial dissertation focused on real-world complex systems.
