The International Graduate Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Level 6) [120 Credit Top-up] consists of six units as follows:​

Core Units

Further Engineering Mathematics you will develop your mathematical skills further enabling you to gain a deeper understanding of how mathematics is used to model and analyse engineering problems.

Machine Learning & AI for Engineers Machine Learning and AI are transforming engineering by enabling automation, optimization, and data-driven decision-making. At Level 6, this course provides advanced knowledge and practical skills in applying AI techniques to engineering challenges. You’ll learn how to use machine learning for predictive modelling, system optimization, and intelligent control, preparing you for the future of engineering innovation.

Renewable Energy The transition to sustainable energy is shaping the future of engineering. At Level 6, this course provides advanced knowledge of renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy. You’ll explore system design, energy storage, and integration challenges, equipping you with the skills to develop innovative solutions for a sustainable future.

​Specialist Units

​Composites, Smart Materials & Nanotechnology Advanced materials are revolutionizing engineering with lighter, stronger, and more adaptive solutions. At Level 6, this course explores composites, smart materials, and nanotechnology, focusing on their design, manufacturing, and applications in aerospace, automotive, and other high-tech industries. You’ll gain the expertise to develop cutting-edge materials for the next generation of engineering innovations.

Advanced Structural Engineering Modern engineering demands structures that are stronger, safer, and more efficient. At Level 6, this course provides in-depth knowledge of structural analysis, materials, and design principles for complex engineering projects

+1 Optional Unit

 You will have access to a range of optional units, so that you can study topics that interest you. These may even lie outside the field of mechanical engineering such as electrical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering.

To be awarded an International Graduate Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Level 6) [120 Credit Top-up], you must successfully complete the above 120 credits.

Yes, the International Graduate Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Level 6) is accredited by IEAC to be a 120 credit level 6 qualification top-up.

IEAC is a globally recognised UK Accreditation Body.

This qualification is a top-up, which means that you need existing qualifications to gain entry, which could be any one of the following:​

• Higher International Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (EduQual Level 5) [240 Credits]
• HND in Mechanical Engineering
• Diploma of Higher Education in Engineering
• Other Level 5 qualifications in mechanical engineering

All our courses are delivered in English language, so you must be competent in learning technical information in English.

Typically, most learners take around 6-12 months to complete this course.​

However, as these are distance learning engineering courses, you are in control of your own learning schedule and so you have the freedom to complete the course in your own timescale. Therefore our online engineering courses can be completed more quickly depending on your existing commitments and/or your existing knowledge.

All of our units are assessed by 100% written assignments. There are no exams to sit.

There are no schedules or deadlines. You submit your assignments when you are ready.

Full tutor support is available.

Throughout the course, you will receive dedicated tutor support to assist with any questions or challenges you encounter. Our tutors are engineering experts with extensive teaching experience, ensuring you receive high-quality guidance throughout your studies.
