Course details

Summary

Boost your undergraduate qualification with advanced engineering and management skills to innovate in our technologically diverse environments.

Programme overview

Expand your employability in a diverse range of sectors by giving your undergraduate degree an additional boost. This programme supplements your current skills with the management foundations and industrial perspectives for an engineering career.

With flexible learning options, you may tailor your programme to suit your diverse engineering interests, and opt to study full-time or part-time. If you’re intending to pursue further study, the PGCertEng also serves as a recommended pathway to our master’s programmes.

Subjects available in this programme

• Engineering General
• Plastics

Programme structure

This 60 point, taught programme has a flexible structure, so you can tailor your learning to suit your interests – either by selecting courses within the general areas of engineering, or refining your study to a specific field of expertise. This will not affect the outcome of your final award – you will still graduate with a PGCertEng.

You must complete four 15 point, non-project courses listed in the Master of Engineering Studies schedule. Two courses (30 points) must be from the subjects below:

• Biomedical Engineering
• Chemical and Materials Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Computer Systems
• Engineering
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering
• Energy Technology
• Engineering General
• Engineering Science
• Environmental Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Software Engineering

A PGCertEng in Plastics is also available.

Where could this programme take you?

The PGCertEng functions largely as a pathway for further postgraduate study – while it can increase your employment opportunities, this qualification ultimately supplements your undergraduate degree with the additional technical and critical thinking skills needed to pursue an engineering masters degree.

Further study options

• Master of Engineering Studies
• Master of Engineering
• Master of Energy
• Master of Operations Research

Entry criteria

You must have completed an engineering degree or an undergraduate degree in a relevant field such as architecture, geology, or physics. Your study must have been at a recognised university (or similar institution) and you will need a GPE of 2.0.
