Lift Engineering FdSc

If you are already working in the lift engineering sector, this course will develop your knowledge of the fundamentals of engineering, including mechanical, electrical, electronic and hydraulic engineering design and analysis. The course delivery is flexible, in a modular format, taught online so that you can choose when to study to fit around your work and personal life. You can study one module initially, as a taster, or as a way to update your skills in a specific area. To achieve the full FdSc, you will need to complete modules to a total of 240 credits.

In the first year, you will focus on learning the skills required in electrical and mechanical sciences and develop your mathematical skills associated with the lift and other engineering industries. The second year analyses the applications of electrical and mechanical engineering in the lift industry and teaches system dynamics and control. You will have the opportunity to utilise the topics that you have studied within the work place by undertaking a case study module. The course uses examples taken from the lift industry so that it is highly relevant and practical.

Campus Information

Waterside Campus

In the summer of 2018 the University of Northampton moved to the brand-new Waterside Campus. This seven-year project saw a neglected brownfield site transformed into a successful and impressive new campus that facilitated a radical re-engineering of the University in terms of both teaching methodology and governance structures. aterside is a waterfront site of 24 hectares on the edge of the town centre. Its successful completion has turned a derelict site into a leading facility in the higher education sector. The project brief emphasised integration, of the University into the town and local community, and of departments, facilities and teams within the University itself. New pedestrian and road bridges and cycle routes link the site to the town, and public facilities and commercial outlets are part of a Waterside experience which continues beyond the University to local historic buildings and parks.

Job Opportunity Potential

This course is an excellent foundation for many jobs associated with lift engineering as well as further study.

The FdSc opens up the opportunity for complete academic progression, and you may even apply directly for the MSc in Lift Engineering.

Some of the examples of jobs directly linked to this degree are Escalator Engineer, Lift Repairs Engineer, Lift Engineer Surveyor, Lift Service Engineer, Lift Installation Engineer, Lift Modernisation Engineer, Lift Inspector and Lift Test Engineer.

PSW Opportunity

2 Years PSW is applicable after the course.(Bachelors & Masters only)

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

As a course designed for people who are working in the lift industry, we do not expect you to have any formal qualifications but to have appropriate work experience. Those without relevant work experience may enter the course with one A-level qualification as well as GCSE Mathematics at grade C or above. If you are not currently employed in an appropriate industry, you will need to demonstrate that you are able to gain an industrial placement prior to starting your course.
