Graduate Diploma in Engineering Technology ( Water and Water Waste )
This programme is for engineering graduates and working engineering professionals wishing to gain further specialist knowledge in an additional discipline area. The programme also offers the opportunity for those candidates with a relevant engineering background and experience who may wish to gain a formal qualification to recognise that experience. The programme has strands in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Power, Water and Water Waste, and Highway Engineering.
A 30 credit Engineering Development Project is included, which may be research or work placement based, allowing students to undertake research in an area of interest. The remaining six 15 credit modules are the various pathway modules from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology programme.
Students can complete the programme in one year’s full-time study or will be able to study part-time whilst in employment.
