Accreditations
Engineering Council - This degree is accredited as a technical programme, meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a partial CEng accredited undergraduate first degree.
I currently work as an engineer for Faber Maunsell AECOM; a leading international consultancy. My employer recognised the importance for me to obtain a relevant and up-to-date Masters and it was their recommendation that I enrolled as a part time student with the University of Exeter.
The University of Exeter is a fantastic place to study and one that supports achievement in all career aspirations. Since joining I’ve been selected as one of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) President’s apprentices. This involves shadowing ICE President Jean Venables OBE for some of her presidential duties throughout the year. Exeter has been wholly supportive of this great opportunity, with the flexibility and industrial focus of the programme making it possible to do both.

Teaching and research
The programme is delivered through a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials, industrial presentations, case studies, industry visits, computer simulations, project work and a dissertation.
You will develop transferable skills such as management and communication skills, computational techniques, data handling and analysis, problem solving, decision making and research methodology. Many of these will be addressed within an industrial and commercial context.
Personal tutor
You will be allocated a Personal Tutor who is available for advice and support throughout your studies, along with support and mentoring from graduates who are now in industry. There is also a Postgraduate Tutor available to help with further guidance and advice.
A research and practice-led culture
We believe every student benefits from being taught by experts active in research and practice. You will discuss the very latest ideas, research discoveries and new technologies in seminars and in the field. Plus, you’ll become actively involved in a research project yourself.
All our academic staff are active in internationally-recognised scientific research across a wide range of topics. You will also be taught by leading industry practitioners.
Maths support
Throughout your studies you will have access to support materials designed to refresh your knowledge of engineering mathematics. Mathematics for Engineers is a non-credit bearing online resource that covers the mathematics needed to undertake an MSc. It is an invaluable revision tool for those wishing to refresh their knowledge of common mathematical topics.
