Course modules
The MSc in Ultra Precision Technologies comprises eight taught modules through which students gain an understanding of both fundamentals and the state-of-the-art practices. Modules are taught at either Cranfield University, OpTIC or the University of Cambridge, as indicated on the individual module pages below. This is followed by a group project in which they apply their learning as a team to an industrially-defined and continuously-monitored problem.
Finally, students complete an individual project in which they will research, develop and apply technologies in their chosen area, developing their depth of understanding and ability to provide ultra precision solutions.
