Always contact the admissions team if you are unsure which fee applies to your qualification award and method of attendance.

All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).

We offer a number of postgraduate taught scholarships and awards to outstanding UK and international students each year.

The University of Manchester is committed to widening participation in master's study, and allocates £300,000 in funding each year. Our Manchester Master's Bursaries are aimed at widening access to master's courses by removing barriers to postgraduate education for students from underrepresented groups.

We also welcome the best and brightest international students each year and reward excellence with a number of merit-based scholarships. See our range of master’s scholarships for international students .

And, if you have completed an undergraduate degree at The University of Manchester, or are currently in your final year of an undergraduate degree with us, you may be eligible for a discount of 10% on tuition fees if you choose to study on a taught postgraduate course here.

This unit is available as an option on both the MEng Aerospace Engineering with Management and MSc Management of Projects programmes.

The unit is designed to equip students with an advanced knowledge of the risk management process; by exploring strategic and tactical issues associated with the implementation of effective risk management practices, students should develop the appropriate skills to appreciate the key processes and decision stages at corprate and project level.

The unit is also designed to reinforce the inextricable relationship between risk and value; students will explore through case studies and workshops, how effective risk management can realise added-value to project stakeholders

The unit is delivered through a series of weekly keynote lectures on theoretical and practical concepts of risk and value management, supported by workshop sessions to refinorce the theory. The unit involves a mix of traditional lectures, group work (formatively assessed), indi

To identify and critically evaluate the theoretical and practical concepts of risk and value within the context of engineering project management.   To critically evaluate the framework within which project participants can operate appropriate risk and value management strategies. To equip students with the skills, knowledge and critical analysis skills to understand the desiderata for effective enterprise risk management systems in project oriented organisations.

On successful completion of the course, a student will be able to:

ILO 1: Demonstrate an advanced level of knowledge and understanding of risk identification, analysis and response.

ILO 2: Analyse the context within which an engineering project executed in order to  develop risk management strategies given in the prevailing commercial, economic and technical conditions

ILO 3: Skills and creativity required to produce effective risk management solutions based on the robust analysis of data.

 

Feedback given to help students to develop and improve with the unit of study. In this unit, a formative work assessment is submitted and feedback comments are made available to students via Turnitin within Blackboard. Additional formative feedback is available to students through the following means:

Attending lectures, joining discussions about case studies and doing short work tasks set within the lecture session. The lecturer will reply to individual questions at the end of each lecture session as required.

The lecturer will provide brief replies to your e-mailed enquiries. The lecturer will provide feedback messages to the whole class via Blackboard if the point that you have raised could be of benefit to the whole class.
