Graduate Diploma in International Automotive Engineering

This program will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the engineering disciplines that constitute the life cycle of the product automobile.

It will expose you to state-of-the-art infrastructure and different work ethics, by providing you with the opportunity to carry out work experience or research projects at multi-national automotive companies worldwide.

The program is international in character;

it aims to provide you with advanced technical and generic capabilities which will enhance your chances of employment in the global automotive industry sector.There are two distinct and interrelated specialist automotive areas of activity in the global automotive industry sector.Automotive Design and Development includes developed automotive industries that are knowledge intensive and with high value added products and services (e.g., Australia, Germany, USA, Japan).

Automotive Manufacturing Engineering Processes include emerging automotive industries where the focus is process intensive, relies on economies of scale and the pursuit of cutting-edge manufacturing technologies (e.g., China, India, Thailand).In catering for local and international students this program offers the flexibility for specialisation in either sector.

It will instil in you the specialised automotive engineering skills that are currently in short supply, but are increasingly in high demand by the automotive industry.The objective of this program is to educate you as a leading professional automotive engineer who is able to:Analyse complex automotive systems and develop new systems to ensure enhanced vehicle operations Find innovative solutions from an array of possibilities through systematic problem solving and system design methodologies Analyse the automotive product from cradle to grave and adapt automotive design and manufacturing systems to deliver value for all stakeholders Conceive novel designs for challenging problems and opportunities Communicate with a wide range of key stakeholders in professional and effective manner Lead, build and work with teams with trust and respectThe program requires in-person attendance, but also takes advantage of the capabilities of the online learning management system that is available to all students and provides scope for collaboration and remote access.This program is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode at the City Campus.
