Post Graduate Diploma & Master of Engineering in Road & Transport Engineering
Following on from the successful launch of the Post Grad Cert in Road Maintenance Engineering & Network Management, IT Sligo in collaboration with the Local Authority Services National Training Group (LASNTG) and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (DTTS) are delighted to announce the launch (subject to successful programme validation) of a new L9 Post Grad Diploma and MEng online part time programme tailored to address current civil engineering skills shortages in the areas of road and transport engineering.
Course Description
This course will prepare local authority engineers, consultants and contractors with the knowledge, skills and competences required for success in road and transport engineering.
In Semester 1 and 2, the theme is road maintenance engineering and network management. In Semester 3 and 4, the focus is on road design and construction. To progress to the MEng, a dissertation is undertaken in your chosen field during Semester 5 and 6. Note also that both Certificates can be undertaken separately.
For local authority engineers, this programme will be 80% funded by DTTS and 20% funded by local authorities.
Entry Requirements:
Post Grad Diploma or MEng: 2.2 minimum in BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering or equivalent. Post Grad Cert: BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering or equivalent.
Cost:
€4,500/year for taught modules, €3,000 for dissertation.
