Overview
Please note this course has closed recruitment for 2025.
The University of Northampton’s Lift Engineering MSc course will benefit lift engineers and consultants as well as members of senior management in the lift industry. You will gain an in-depth understanding of advanced technical issues arising in lift design, maintenance and contract management. The programme teaches the skills required in electrical and mechanical science, together with mathematics and other engineering areas associated with the lift industry.
This lift engineering master’s degree has been accredited by IMechE under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
Highlights
- The Lift Engineering MSc is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
- 100% online delivery and tutorial support
