MASTER OF ENGINEERING (MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT)

Direct entry to the Master of Engineering (Maintenance Management) course will require a tertiary degree of approved standard from a recognised institute, eg a BE (Hons) degree or equivalent.

Maintenance engineers having completed their Graduate Diploma in Maintenance Management will be given appropriate credits for the course they already have completed. Credits may also be approved for other qualifications or experience for suitable applicants. In order to then obtain a Masters of Engineering (Maintenance Management), the candidate must have a Graduate Diploma in Maintenance Management or equivalent and have completed successfully a further 48 cp. These must consist of 2 core and 2 elective subjects and a 24 cp research project leading to a dissertation.

The research project will run in parallel with the formal coursework throughout the anticipated last year of a candidate's study. Students will be able to choose a suitable investigation from the current research activities at any of the disciplines involved.
