The Brunel Engineering Management PGCert pathway provides a strong foundation to develop your leadership and management skills. If you’re looking for a short course that will help enhance your engineering management techniques then this is the perfect option for you. 

This on-campus course can be studied either full-time or part-time. You'll learn about manufacturing systems design and economics, project management, systems modelling and simulation, and quality management and reliability. Additionally, with an eye on the future, you’ll examine the challenges new technologies pose to management in the engineering sector.

Throughout your studies you’ll have 24-hour access to industry standard specialist software for engineering design in dedicated computer clusters on campus, so you’ll have the opportunity and equipment to explore ideas and tackle problems.

EU and International entry requirements

If you require a Tier 4 visa to study in the UK, you must prove knowledge of the English language so that we can issue you a Certificate of Acceptance for Study (CAS). To do this, you will need an IELTS for UKVI or Trinity SELT test pass gained from a test centre approved by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) and on the Secure English Language Testing (SELT) list. This must have been taken and passed within two years from the date the CAS is made.

English language requirements

  • IELTS: 6 (min 5.5 in all areas)
  • Pearson: 59 (59 in all sub scores)
  • BrunELT: 58% (min 55% in all areas)
  • TOEFL: 77 (min R18, L17, S20, W17) 

You can find out more about the qualifications we accept on our English Language Requirements page.

Should you wish to take a pre-sessional English course to improve your English prior to starting your degree course, you must sit the test at an approved SELT provider for the same reason. We offer our own BrunELT English test and have pre-sessional English language courses for students who do not meet requirements or who wish to improve their English. You can find out more information on English courses and test options through our Brunel Language Centre.
