About Crownshire University

Affordable UK degrees online or on campus in York.

Overview

This MSc is for supervisors and planners who already live inside takt, scrap, and truck appointments in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Dakotas. Crownshire University will not prepare you to stamp drawings as a professional engineer. You will design a shift-handoff that survives absenteeism, cost a changeover, and treat winter freight as a constraint, not a footnote. Tuition-free online and York campus use the same rubrics and identity-checked exams. Capstones need a real plant, warehouse, or contract-manufacturer dataset (anonymised)—not a toy factory in a textbook with the city renamed York.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.

**Award:** Crownshire University **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
