接近STEM的路线是用于接纳数学，物理学，天体物理学或其他相关的一级学位候选人，并且其课程将广泛使用应用数学来设计和解释工程和/或科学概念。在获得5级的先前经验学习（APEL）认证后，您将花费三个学期攻读通用工程过渡硕士，并有机会专门研究6级和/或7级的上述选项。为了响应专业管理的采购和供应链的日益增长的重要性，以及对熟练运营经理的战略价值的认可。
The near STEM route is for admission of mathematics, physics, astrophysics or other relevant first degree candidates and whose programme would have made extensive use of applied mathematics to design and explain engineering and/or scientific concepts. After accreditation of prior experiential learning (APEL) at Level 5, you will spend three semesters studying towards a General Engineering Transition Masters with the opportunity to specialise in the above options at Level 6 and/or 7. This master's programme was introduced in response to the growing importance of professionally-managed purchasing and supply chains, as well as recognising the strategic value of skilled operations managers. These topics have been high on the political agenda for several years and as companies have become more aware of the strategic value of supply chain management, salaries have risen rapidly.
