Accreditation
This degree has been accredited by the Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) 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). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). 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.
From this CIWEM accreditation it is intended that the APM will directly progress graduates towards achieving Chartered Engineer (CEng) status as it offers company-based, professional training. Built into the programme will be guidance on the preparation and submission of the professional portfolio to work towards chartered status. This will support motivated individuals who wish to gain a postgraduate qualification to develop a technology and engineering focused career in the sector.
