Postgraduate Certificate in Aerospace, Design, Manufacture and Management (UoB)
This can be awarded on the successful completion of six modules including a pass in all six post-module assignments. A balance of technical and management modules is expected, preferably with at least one module from each subject area: Aerospace; Design; Manufacture and Management. For details of module categories please see the list of modules. A minimum of three modules run by the University of Bristol must be taken.

Postgraduate Diploma in Aerospace, Design, Manufacture and Management (UoB)
This can be awarded on the successful completion of twelve modules including a pass in all twelve post-module assignments. As noted above a balance of technical and management modules is expected, including at least one module from each subject area. A minimum of six modules run by the University of Bristol must be taken.

MSc in Aerospace, Design, Manufacture and Management (UoB)
This can be awarded on the successful completion of twelve modules - including a pass in all twelve post-module assignments and the project. Again, as noted above a balance of technical and management modules is expected, including at least one module from each subject area. The final selection may depend on the project subject area chosen. A minimum of three modules run by the University of Bristol must be taken and the project must be supervised by an academic from the University awarding the degree. The modules are worth 60% and project 40% of the overall assessment. The MSc can be given with commendation.

Eng.D
This can be awarded on the successful achievement of 540 credit points. This involves the completion of a number of taught modules, depending on the entry stage of the delegate and a research project. In general, it requires 180 academic credits’ worth of taught units, chosen from a wide range of technical and business subjects, mostly at Masters level. This includes a pass in all post module assignments.

There are a number of doctorate level modules available, from the Engineering Management Eng.D run at the University of Bristol. These are specifically for use as part of the Eng.D programme and are not offered to Masters students. Only 60 credits worth of level D modules will count towards the Eng.D. Further details on these modules can be found on the Engineering Management website by clicking here.

Delegates who have already gained a Masters degree through the CPDA may use these 180 credit points as part of their Eng.D programme. They would then need to focus on the project, worth 360 credit points.

The research component of the Eng.D will be a project dissertation, of PhD standard, focusing on a strategic problem or issue in the Aerospace sector. It is a substantial piece of work, requiring approximately 3600 hours to complete. To help the delegate understand the requirements of a research dissertation, it is supported by a Research Methodology workshop. For further information see the Eng.D brochure and Eng.D Route Map.

Note:

• For all awards delegates enrolled on the programme should propose a programme of modules which reflects their needs for professional development: career aspirations, personal education and if appropriate, sponsoring organisations requirements.
• Distinctions are awarded to MSc candidates who achieve a module average of 70% or above, plus 70% or above in the project, not an overall average of 70%+.
