Complex systems include those where the complexity derives from the involvement and interaction of humans, as well as the interaction of technology elements.

Systems thinking and the development of complex systems

This course begins by developing a sound understanding of what systems are and how to reason about those systems. It then explores the methods and processes used to manage the complexity inherent in the many large system that pervade our world today.

The course uses the UCL Principles of Systems Engineering to frame the exploration of the subject.

This 5 day course is one element of the MSc in Systems Engineering Management that can be taken as a stand-alone course. Further information on the content of the course and the thinking around systems engineering management can be found on the ST&EM module page.
