Graduate Diploma in Maintenance
Engineering
This part-time course is designed for those who have a
qualification such as a diploma or degree in engineering or
applied science, and who wish to take advanced studies
based on maintenance engineering, maintenance
management and its interaction with industry in general.
Course content comprises common core material with the
Graduate Diploma in Risk Management, emphasising maintenance
engineering's place as a major sub-set of business
risk management activity, complemented by specialist
subjects relating to the practice of maintenance engineering.
The course will usually spread over two years.

Graduate Diploma in Manufacturing
Technology
This course is designed to increase the effectiveness of
engineers, scientists and technologists who, by virtue of their
position in industry or the public service, find themselves illequipped
to function in a modern manufacturing operation.
This may be due to the nature of their original training
(qualification), or simply to the rapid changes in technology
and the industrial environment.
Entrance requirements
All applicants should have completed a relevant degree or
diploma in engineering, science or applied science.
Under special circumstances, a limited number of applicants
not meeting the above, may be admitted after interviews on
the basis of considerable relevant experience and level of
responsibility in manufacturing.
Duration
The course is equivalent to one year full-time study and is
normally undertaken by part-time study over two and a half
years. (Students must be able to attend at least one half day
session during normal day time hours.)

~083 Graduate Diploma in Risk
Management
This course provides further studies for graduates in all
branches of engineering, applied science and business, to
gain more specialised knowledge in risk management. This
has application in many areas of technical and business
decision-making where proper consideration of risks is
essential to minimise human discomfort and injury; as well
as potential physical and financial losses.
