The Work-Based Route to Professional Qualification
The MSc Professional Engineering and the Bachelors programme in
Professional Engineering have been devised as part of the
Engineering Council DIUS-funded Gateways Project, Flexible Pathways
to becoming a Professional Engineer.
The courses provide a pathway to professional qualification as
Chartered Engineer (MSc) and Incorporated Engineer (Bachelor)
through work-based learning.
This new flexible work-based route enables you to gain the
necessary academic qualifications and develop the required
competence for professional qualification without needing to leave
employment.
Full details of the MSc and Bachelors in Professional
Engineering can be found on our Engineering Gateways website.
A detailed interim evaluation of the engineering gateways model
has been carried out, involving the key stakeholders, and a report
of the findings can be found under useful links.

Employers' support
The Engineering Council and the Royal Commission for the
Exhibition of 1851 have jointly sponsored research to gauge the
level of employer support for employees working towards
professional qualification by way of a work-based MSc Professional
Engineering with a research element. A report of the findings
can be found under useful links.
