New MSc courses Sheffield Hallam University, UK, in association with the National Metals Technology Centre (NAMTEC), UK, has launched two new postgraduate MScs that have been specifically developed to meet employer and employee needs in the metals and manufacturing sector. The two courses are titled MSc Materials and Manufacturing Management, and MSc Advanced Engineering Metals, and are part of the university’s Materials, Manufacturing and Management Post- graduate Programme. The courses are open to those employed in a relevant area, and most students study on a part- time basis while in full employment. It is also possible to study individual modules from the courses through the university’s Individual Study Programme. Both courses have been designed following extensive consultation with technical specialists at NAMTEC and employers in the engineering, metal and manufacturing sectors, including Corus, Sheffield Forgemasters, TiMet, Allvac and Outokumpu.
