We're edging ever closer to an IDE demolition degree

Our very own John Woodward has announced during the recent European Demolition Association Convention in Glasgow that the IDE is very close to agreeing the format of the first degree-level qualification in demolition.

Speaking on behalf of IDE president Duncan Rudall, John said:

"We’re moving towards incorporation into the Engineering Council. The IDE can’t be incorporated but members can be. The institute can become similar to the Institute of Structural Engineers in that respect."

The options being considered are an MSc distance learning course for those already in the industry, as well as a BSc degree to support students who want a career in demolition. Whatever the options end up being, the degree(s) will be offered through Wolverhampton University initially.
