Master of Engineering
Overview
The Master of Engineering allows the student to combine
specialist postgraduate subjects, according to his or her
undergraduate background, with project work. The program comprises
a 24 credit point dissertation and at least 24 credit points
of coursework. The dissertation typically requires rigorous
research in a specialised area – normally in the area
of coursework components undertaken.

Master of Engineering (Maintenance Management)
Overview
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.
