M081 Graduate Diploma in
Maintenance Engineering
NB This course is currently under review.
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
maior subset of business risk management activity.

M083 Graduate Diploma in Risk
Management
NB This course is currently under review.
This course ~rovides further studies for " eraduates 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.
Subject material is arranged to enable studies to be
undertaken in one of three specialised streams, in addition to
a common core of studies. ~ kstreams e are:
health and safety risks
plant and property risks
maintenance (poduction risks)
This arrangement allows groups with specific interests
within the broad risk management field to specialise.
Core material comprises subjects directed at developing an
understanding of the broad risk management discipline from
the management, insurance, statistical, engineering,
psychological, social and legal aspects.
Streamed material includes expansion of core material in
relevant directions as well as more specialised subjects. Full
subject details are available from the School of Mechanical
and Manufacturing Engineering.
The course will usually be spread over two years.
