City & Guilds and the Engineering Council UK

Working together to bring you

Chartered Engineering (C.Eng) academic level
examinations



Qualification details

Note syllabuses are available from the web (www.cityandguilds.com/ecukexams) and past
papers upon request and for a small fee.


Engineering Council Certificate

This is the standard expected of an undergraduate at the end of the first year of a degree
programme. Engineering Council Examinations recognises other British and overseas
qualifications in an engineering discipline as meeting the requirements. For Certificate level,
so providing a direct route into the Graduate Diploma level.


Guidelines for the Engineering Council Certificate

You will need to be registered as a candidate for which the Engineering Council
Examinations at City & Guilds makes a charge to each applicant prior to entering for
examinations.

Entry to the Certificate component is through possession of 2 A levels in
mathematics and science subjects, or their equivalent, as may be agreed by
Engineering Council Examinations at City & Guilds.
Candidates may take the maximum number of papers required in one sitting,
although they are normally advised not to attempt more than three papers
simultaneously
Candidates may repeat papers as many times as they wish. This will be known to the
professional institution they are wishing to join and in some circumstances may count
against an application for professional registration. It will not, however, count against
successful completion of the Certificate requirements.
Institutions may, in certain circumstances, impose time constraints on the time taken
to complete the Certificate.
Candidates are required to pass all four of the compulsory papers and two more
papers from the available supplementary choices in order to qualify for the
Engineering Council Certificate.

Graduate Diploma

This is set at the standard for the final (third) year of a British BEng (Hons) degree course.

The papers required in order to gain an Engineering Council Graduate Diploma must be
chosen from about 20 technical papers set each year at this level. Students need to be sure,
before they begin their studies, that the combination of papers is agreed by the professional
institution as an acceptable academic list for the award of Chartered Engineer (CEng).

There is, however, nothing to stop candidates applying for entry to one or more papers in this
series, to fulfil 'top up' requirements.


Guidelines for the Engineering Council Graduate Diploma

Candidates must be registered for the Engineering Council Examinations at City & Guilds. A
charge to each applicant is made.

Entry to the Graduate Diploma component is through possession of the Engineering
Council Certificate, or equivalent as may be agreed by Engineering Council
Examinations at City & Guilds or by being exempted by a professional institute (in
UK). Applicants in possession of City & Guilds Advanced technician diploma IVQ in
the following disciplines, 6165, 8030-2000, 2565, 3905, 2730, and 2720 are also
exempted. From the certificate level and may enter directly to the Graduate Diploma.
Candidates are free to choose five papers from the choice of available papers at
Graduate Diploma level, referring to their professional institution for advice on
acceptability. They must successfully complete these and a Project to quality for the
award of Engineering Council Graduate Diploma.
Candidates may repeat papers as many times as they wish, but this will be known to
the professional institution and in some circumstances may count against an
application for professional registration. It will not, however, count against successful
completion of the Graduate Diploma requirements.
Institutions may, in certain circumstances, impose time constraints on the time taken
to complete the Graduate Diploma.

Guidelines for examination permutations

*Candidates may take either 203 or 204 but not both: 203 is designed to be most appropriate
for mechanical or chemical engineers, 204 for civil engineers.

+Candidates may take either 221 or 222 but not both.

#These subjects will not be examined in May 2006. The availability for the May 2007 series
will be reviewed in December 2005.

Requirements are for five papers from 201 203, 205 221 and 223 231, or 201 202,
204 221 and 223 231, or 201 203, 205 220 and 222 231, or 201 202, 204 220
and 222 231 and the project report 232.

Postgraduate Diploma

This is set at the standard of the final (fourth) year of a British MEng first degree.

Students can gain entry to the Postgraduate Diploma by:

achieving the Engineering Council Graduate Diploma
holding a BEng(Hons) degree accredited by a professional UK institution;
having an exemption through an Individual Case Procedure carried out by your
professional institution;
applying for consideration to be given to your current qualification which is deemed to
be equivalent to a UK engineering degree (three year) by the Engineering Council
Examinations Department.


Guidelines for the Engineering Council Postgraduate Diploma

Candidates are required to complete successfully the following:
o One compulsory paper in Advanced Engineering Analysis
o One technical paper at an advanced level chosen from about five or six
available
o Two further papers chosen from amongst those available for Graduate
Diploma candidates. These must not be papers which have been attempted
before
o Successful submission of a project report to include management principles.
Candidates may repeat papers as many times as necessary in order to qualify for the
Engineering Council Postgraduate Diploma, but failure may be noted by the
professional institution and in some circumstances may count against an application
for professional registration when they apply for Chartered status.
Professional institutions may, in certain circumstances, impose constraints on the
time taken to complete the Postgraduate Diploma.
The Postgraduate Diploma will only be awarded to candidates who fulfil the full
requirements as specified above.
