The Graduate Diploma in Engineering, with strands in Electronics, Power, Mechatronics and Mechanical, caters for engineering graduates and working engineering professionals who wish to gain further specialist knowledge in a discipline area.

You will graduate at the same level as a degree students in a subject other than the one you majored in for your first degree.

This programme enables graduates to undertake high-level design, specification and project management within a specific selection of subject areas. It provides you with multi-disciplinary skills and knowledge covering a number of strands.

This range of knowledge will enable graduates to provide optimal design solutions by being able to compare and evaluate the differing alternatives provided by, and within, each discipline area. You will have an understanding of the practical application of the discipline and the technical skills to specify and manage projects.
