Distributed Control Systems & Industrial Networks

The course has been designed in collaboration with advanced manufacturing and instrumentation companies in the region to offer an award in Distributed Control Systems to meet skills shortages experienced by industry, specifically training in the use of DCS platforms such as DeltaV.

Open to graduates and experienced personnel with a Level 8 qualification in science, life science, business, engineering, or related disciplines. Applicants with a Level 7 in a Science/Engineering discipline AND extensive relevant industrial experience or training may be considered via the University’s recognition of prior learning (RPL) policy and process. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
