The development of automation, instrumentation and control systems can be more complex than the design of the plant itself. Unfortunately, there is a chronic international shortage of personnel with the depth of knowledge and experience necessary to apply the technology and techniques required. Imperial is addressing this shortfall.
This degree is aimed at talented individuals, who may be at the beginning of their careers or who are looking for a new challenge. We recognise the need for flexible learning. Working closely together with the industry-recognised Partnership in Automation and Control Training (PACT) group, we've designed a programme which offers a structured programme of industrially relevant and academically rigorous modules that can be taken on a part-time basis.
The emphasis of the programme is on real world application and many of the courses will be taught by experts from industry. All students will initially register for the Postgraduate Certificate in Process Automation, Instrumentation and Control, made up of four modules. A member of the Chemical Engineering staff will assist you to select the best modules according to your background, interest and needs.
On successful completion of the programme, you can graduate from Imperial with a Postgraduate Certificate. Alternatively, you can choose to continue your studies and take an additional four modules to progress towards the Postgraduate Diploma. On successful completion of the Postgraduate Diploma, you have the option to move on to the MSc. MSc students will have typically taken two to three taught modules per year with completion of eight modules in three to four years. Allowing an extra one year for the industrial project, the expectation is that you will complete the programme within four to five years. The industrial project is the culmination of the programme. It represents a major piece of design, development or research work done in-company.
Your project will be supervised jointly by Imperial and the company where you are based. The expectation is that it will take a total of 780 hours to complete, equivalent to four months' full-time work, plus time to write the dissertation. All of the modules are also available as a choice of 16 standalone courses as part of continuing professional development. The 16 modules are organised in one-week blocks of intensive tuition.
This enables you to balance your studies alongside work and domestic commitments. At the completion of each module, you will carry out an assignment, equivalent to another week's full-time study, in your own time. You typically complete two or three modules per year although if you have satisfactorily progressed to the Postgraduate Diploma you may complete your eight modules in 12 months if you wish.
