Professional Accreditation of Programmes (Mining and Minerals Engineering)
Our specialist engineering degrees are accredited by Professional Engineering Institutions 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). All accredited programmes are mapped to the Engineering Council's output standards, as outlined on their Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP) webpage.
An accredited MEng degree fully satisfyies the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
An accredited BEng degree: 1. fully satisfyies the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and 2. partially satisfies the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng). A programme of accredited further learning will be required to complete the educational base for CEng.
An accredited MSc degree meets the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired an Accredited CEng (Partial) BEng (Hons) undergraduate first degree.
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.
A list of the College's accredited degree programmes (Mining and Minerals Engineering), and the associated accrediting Professional Institution is provided below. Note that some degree programmes may be under application for accreditation; if you are unsure of the accredited status of your degree programme, please contact the Accreditation Team.
