Overview

The online Engineering Management Postgraduate Certificate is both a gateway to the online Engineering Management MSc and an award in its own right. This Level 7 qualification, like our Masters degree has been designed by engineers, for engineers, to meet the needs of a growing management skills gap in the industry.

The Postgraduate Certificate pathway provides a strong foundation for further development of your leadership-level expertise. You’ll study three compulsory modules and one optional module of the Engineering Management Masters and exit with the Postgraduate Certificate award, or continue to complete the full Masters degree.

These modules are designed to equip you with the skills and confidence needed for effective business planning, helping you develop as an industry leader.

Who is this course for?

If you’re an engineer looking to accelerate your career opportunities, but don’t have the option to commit to a full Masters degree, this course is for you.

The distance learning Engineering Management Postgraduate Certificate has been designed to help you grasp key skills used every day by industry leaders. It’s ideal if you are:

  • In the initial stages of your career and looking to fast-track your progress
  • An ambitious professional with substantial industry experience

Accreditation

This award is accredited by the Chartered Management Institution (CMI) and is equivalent to a CMI Level 7 Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership.

  • mini project reports
  • group discussions and assignments
  • live and/or pre-recorded presentations
  • practical exercises based on real-world scenarios
  • essays
  • literature reviews
  • multiple choice exams for formative learning feedback (no more than 5% of assessment)

Career opportunities
