Overview:

There is growing evidence that the manufacturing sector is responding to the challenge of sustainability. Companies are improving processes and technologies with an ever increasing focus on environmental and social as well as economic performance.

Developed with leading organisations, this innovative new Masters course will provide you with the ability to combine the manufacturing and sustainability knowledge required to lead projects that will promote renewable material use, lower energy use and minimise waste.
