MSc PG Dip PG Cert Explosives Ordnance Engineering

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc: 11 months full-time, up to five years part-time; PgDip: up to 11 months full-time, up to four years part-time; PgCert: up to 11 months full-time, up to 3 years part-time

Course Description

We see, hear and use thousands of explosives around the world every day, from the military and defence sector to mining and other industrial operations. This means the requirement for expertise in explosives and their engineering is crucial.

The Explosives Ordnance Engineering MSc will teach you the necessary understanding behind explosives engineering, munitions and target response and look to the future in explosives development.

This course allows you to take several elective modules to suit your career path. The choice can be made to focus on the likes of commercial explosives, safety or rocket propulsion. It becomes critical for those in careers in civilian and non-civilian roles which use, handle or engineer explosives or explosive materials.

 

Entry Requirements

A degree in a science or engineering related subject or, exceptionally, with at least seven years’ experience. If you are applying for entry to the MSc in EOE through the experiential route, then up to three successful completions of EOE modules as stand-alone accredited short courses can be used as part of the case to provide supporting evidence of academic ability for entry onto the MSc in EOE.

This programme is accredited as a programme of further learning for CEng registration. When presented together with a CEng-accredited bachelor’s programme, the educational requirements for CEng registration will be met in full. Students who do not have a first degree should contact the relevant institute directly for further details on whether they meet the requirements.
