C04097v2 Master of Engineering Studies

Overview

The flexible structure of this course allows recently graduated engineers and technical specialists to deepen the knowledge and skills gained in their first degree while expanding their managerial and policy knowledge.

Students may choose a program of study that will deepen the body of knowledge acquired in their first degree as well as expand knowledge boundaries into policy and engineering management areas. The program of study is usually framed within a Postgraduate program major and supervised by an experienced academic in that field. However, students also have the option of not electing a major.

Career options

Master's-level courses enhance the ability of engineers to gain and hold jobs.

Additional admission requirements

Applicants require an undergraduate degree in engineering or another technological/applied science field, or a Graduate Certificate in engineering.

Course duration and attendance

The course requires one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study.

Subjects may be offered as three-hour weekly sessions, in block mode, or in distance mode. Each subject usually requires three hours of class attendance per week. Subjects offered by distance mode require similar hours but at the convenience of the student.

Course structure

Students must complete eight postgraduate subjects (totalling 48 credit points) offered by the Faculty of Engineering.

Students normally nominate a major at enrolment. Students wishing to have a major noted on their academic transcript must complete a minimum of three Group A subjects (18cp), and a minimum of four Group B subjects from their major (24cp). Indicated compulsory major subjects must be completed. To complete the Software Engineering major, students must complete all five of the subjects from the Software Engineering major plus three subjects from Group A. To obtain the Energy Planning and Policy major, students must complete eight subjects from the Energy Planning and Policy major; Group A subjects do not apply to this major.

Any special topics listed in the program major are not available in the MEStud.
