About Engineering College of Technology

The Engineering College of Technology (ECT) is a UK higher education provider specialising exclusively in engineering and technology. Designed for ambitious professionals, ECT combines academic excellence with industry relevance to deliver a structured, high-quality online learning experience.

Our postgraduate programmes are developed with industry experts and taught by experienced engineering professionals, equipping students with practical knowledge that can be applied immediately in the workplace. Delivered entirely online, learning includes live interactive tutorials, remote and virtual laboratories, advanced engineering simulation software and dedicated academic support.

Practical learning is embedded throughout every programme. Students develop hands-on skills through virtual and remote laboratories featuring real-world engineering scenarios, simulations and remotely operated equipment. Where practical workshops or industry placements are required, students can often use relevant professional experience to demonstrate competencies. Those needing additional practical experience are supported through industry-informed projects, virtual placements and placement opportunities.

ECT currently offers two specialist MSc programmes:

MSc Power System Analysis and Renewable Integration – preparing engineers to design, analyse and integrate modern power systems with renewable energy technologies. See prospectus here.
MSc Industrial Automation and Instrumentation Control – developing advanced expertise in automation, control systems, instrumentation and industrial digital technologies. See prospectus here.

Students graduate with a UK qualification recognised internationally while learning alongside engineering professionals from around the world. As an affiliated institution of the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) in Perth, Australia, ECT combines global expertise with innovative teaching, affordable tuition fees, small class sizes and personalised student support to prepare graduates for engineering leadership.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer scholarships?

Yes. ECT offers a range of scholarships to eligible students to help make postgraduate engineering education more accessible. Scholarship availability, eligibility criteria and application requirements vary depending on the programme and intake. We encourage applicants to explore the scholarships available before applying, as they can significantly reduce the cost of study. Full details of current scholarship opportunities and eligibility can be found on our website or by contacting our Admissions team.

How do your tuition fees work?

ECT offers transparent, country-specific tuition fees with no hidden costs. Tuition fees vary by country to ensure our programmes remain accessible and competitive for students around the world. The applicable fee for your country is published on each programme page and reflects the total cost of your studies.

How can I pay my tuition fees?

Students can pay their tuition fees securely online using a range of payment options. Flexible payment plans are available for many programmes, allowing you to spread the cost of your studies over manageable instalments rather than paying the full amount upfront. Our Admissions team can provide further information on payment plans and available options.

How do I apply?

Applying to ECT is simple. Complete the online application form, submit the required supporting documents and our Admissions team will assess your application. If you meet the entry requirements, you'll receive an offer and guidance on the next steps, including enrolment and payment. Our team is available throughout the process to answer any questions and support your application.

Do you offer short courses?

Yes. Alongside our degree programmes, ECT offers a range of professional certificates of competency covering a range of study areas from civil engineering, mechanical engineering and more. These 3-month programmes are non-credit-bearing and non-accredited, delivered by ECT’s affiliated institute, EIT, and therefore your certificate of completion will be awarded by EIT. These professional certificates are distinct from our undergraduate and postgraduate degree programme offerings.

Can I study while working full-time?

ECT’s programmes are designed to support working professionals, particularly through our part-time study routes. Our structured online learning model combines scheduled live tutorials with flexible independent study, enabling you to balance your education alongside your career and personal commitments while continuing to work. For students choosing full-time study, the workload is more intensive and designed to reflect a full academic commitment, meaning it may be more challenging to maintain full-time employment alongside your studies.
