TL;DR: Engineers who want a master's degree without leaving work can look at the part-time Kingston University MSc programs delivered at ESOFT Uni. They include construction management, building services, mechatronics, renewable energy and structural design. The records ask for a relevant undergraduate degree, usually second class honours or equivalent. Compare the field, fee and entry rule for your own background before you apply.

A first degree gets you into the profession. A master's degree helps when you want to move toward design leadership, project management or a technical specialism. In Sri Lanka many engineers study part-time while working, so the format matters as much as the subject. This article walks through the postgraduate engineering programs listed on Uplift, using the course records.
