IGDS (MSc)

MSc Manufacture and Design for Polymer Products

A programme of study developed by:

London Metropolitan Polymer Centre at London Metropolitan University and  The Faculty of Technology at the Open University

funded by the EPSRC through the Integrated Graduate Development Scheme.

Supporting the manufacturing industry and providing continuing professional development to those responsible for manufacturing goods requiring Polymer components - including those industries outlined in the DTI's Technology Foresight Programme.

The course is specifically designed for those unable to regularly attend an academic institution due to work responsibilities or geographical constraints.

Flexibility is the key to this programme, and those joining the course will benefit from:

  • a route to study appropriate to their career aspirations, choosing from a range of option modules
  • a convenient balance of distance learning and attendance at short courses
  • a convenient timescale - delegates will normally complete the course within a 3 year period of study.

The combined experience and excellence of provision at the Open University and London Metropolitan University provide this flexibility through:

  • quality Open University distance learning modules
  • specialist and established short courses at the University of North London
  • tutorial sessions during the short courses offering opportunities to become familiar with the full range of practical equipment used in the Polymer industry

The above will be supported by:

  • additional support learning material for the short courses
  • tutorial support by Email, phone, fax and computer disc.

Students will have the flexibility to select a range of advanced option modules to meet their career aspirations and to set the pace at which they progress through the programme. These options will provide support for a broad spectrum of careers from professional technological expertise in manufacture to a managerial path.
