C04094 Master of Engineering Management v3

Overview

The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is the ideal course for engineers and technical specialists wishing to expand their managerial skills within a technology-based organisation. The MEM has been specifically designed to emphasise the interface between technology and management.

The MEM program provides an opportunity for engineers who are seeking career prospects in engineering management to undertake a formal course of relevant study at a Master's level. It may also be of benefit to current engineering managers to undertake formal study and gain recognition of their knowledge and experience.

Career options

Engineering and Applied Science jobs are becoming increasingly multi-disciplinary. Knowledge and skills in technical management gained from completing the MEM can assist in gaining a high-quality engineering or engineering management position.

Additional admission requirements

Applicants should hold a UTS engineering degree or the equivalent from another higher education institution, or hold a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in engineering at a level of performance deemed by the Faculty Board in Engineering to be satisfactory evidence of an ability to undertake Master's candidature.

Applicants with Second Class Honours or above require no experience. Others should have two years of relevant work experience, or one year of structured industrial experience equivalent.

Course duration and attendance
