IET Accreditation
The Department's degree programmes are all accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and we were recently awarded a plaque to mark 25 years of continuous accreditation.
Accreditation means that if you graduate with one of our MEng degrees, you will have satisfied all the education requirements for becoming professionally registered. A period of suitable industrial experience after graduation will then allow you to use the title of Chartered Engineer (CEng). You may then apply also to use the "Eur Ing" title, which is respected throughout Europe. Our BEng degrees may be followed by suitable further study elsewhere to bring you up to accredited MEng level.
In addition, our taught MSc degrees are also approved by the IET.
For degree programmes to be accredited, they must provide the range of knowledge and skills set out in the "UK-SPEC" standard, which is published by the Engineering Council UK. The Department is inspected by a panel every five years or so to check that our programmes are still at the required level.
