Engineering for Climate Action (P.Grad.Dip.)

Program Overview

This one-year full-time or two-year part-time postgraduate program equips students with the knowledge and skills to address climate and biodiversity emergencies. Graduates will be qualified for careers in energy engineering, environmental engineering, and waste recycling, among others.

Program Outline

Outline:

• The course is delivered over an eight-month (September-April) period across two-semesters, in 1 year (full-time) or 2 years (part-time).
• Students take taught modules totaling 60 ECTS for the full-time P.Grad.Dip., which consist of 30 ECTS taught modules for the part-time P.Grad.Cert.
pathway and 30 ECTS of taught modules for the part-time P.Grad.Dip. add-on.
• The course schedule and blended-learning format of this course will provide flexibility for students to participate in the course outside of standard working hours (a combination of week-day evenings and Saturday mornings) and through an in-person or virtual learning environment.
• The course is comprised of seven modules.
Full-time students take all modules in one year.
• If taking the part-time Postgraduate Diploma add-on pathway, students will take the remaining two modules in Year 2: Engineering for Climate Action: Mitigation & Adaptation; Energy Management and Efficiency

Teaching:

• Academic and industry experts from engineering, business and psychology deliver the programme and provide students with the knowledge and experience to effectively respond to the climate and biodiversity emergency and make a sustainable impact at an individual, organisational and national level.

Careers:

• Graduates will have the high levels of specialisation necessary to analyse and design solutions to pressing global issues such as global warming, transportation and ensuring sustainable food and water supplies.
They will be capable of advancing their career in a range of fields, including energy engineering, environmental engineering, and waste recycling. Graduates can also progress into areas such as research and innovation in the field of sustainability and environmental engineering.

Other:

• The primary goal of the programme is to develop graduates with technical and non-technical skills achieved through experts from engineering, business and psychology providing unique contributions towards climate action.
• A core focus of the programme is to support climate action measures in key areas of energy and resource pathways in transport, the built environment and industry through informed and innovative climate action.
