Overview

About this course

This two-year full-time, face-to-face Higher Diploma is awarded by Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). It builds core mechanical engineering skills in areas such as thermodynamics, fluid systems and control, and can lead to an LJMU-backed top-up degree. The first year covers engineering mechanics, engineering drawing and CAD, electrical and electronic principles, engineering mathematics, materials and manufacturing, thermodynamics and engineering economics. The second year covers machine design, fluid mechanics and hydraulics, instrumentation and control, heat transfer and combustion, mechatronic systems and robotics, and an engineering design project. Intakes in March and September are listed at the Colombo campus. The page shows a university fee of GBP 500 and asks applicants to contact their centre for ICBT's fee.
