Program 3030 is designed for students who are employed in the ceramic industry respectively. It extends over six part-time years of study. The courses in Stages 3, 4, 5 and 6 normally are available only at daytime classes and one day or more of release from industry per week may be required.

The program leads to the Bachelor of Science (Technology) award. It covers the same courses as the first three years of the corresponding full-time BE program 3135. The first four years of study correspond to the first two years of program 3135. Stages 5 and 6 are the same as the third year of the 3135 program ceramic engineering plan.

Students are required to complete an approved program of industrial training of not less than twelve months prior to the award of the degree. Industrial training normally should be completed concurrently with attendance of the program, but with approval of the Head of School may be completed after completion of the prescribed course of study.

On completion of this program, students will have attained a sound knowledge base in the field of Ceramics.
