Overview

This degree may be awarded to candidates who have completed an individual program of supervised work and submitted a thesis embodying the results. A formal course of study or other work may also be prescribed. Research for this degree should be within the discipline of Groundwater Management.

This degree provides practising engineers with an opportunity to pursue, in depth, the solution of a groundwater-related engineering problem which requires individual effort beyond the scope of a Bachelor's degree. In keeping with the Faculty's overall policies, the accent is on applied research and development work, although basic research proposals are also welcomed and supported.

Career options

Graduates may find work in universities and other institutions, undertaking research or other academic work including teaching. Opportunities also exist with national and international groundwater consultancy firms.

Additional admission requirements

Applicants must hold a Bachelor of Engineering degree from UTS or the former NSWIT, or another qualification deemed equivalent. In special circumstances, engineers who do not possess a degree or equivalent may be admitted to the program if they can provide evidence of general and professional qualifications which will satisfy the UTS Graduate School Board that they possess the educational preparation and capacity to pursue postgraduate studies.

Applicants who do not meet the requirements for admission to candidature for Master's degree (Research) may be admitted as Master's qualifying students, for the purpose of preparing for candidature.

Course duration and attendance

The maximum course duration is two years of full-time, or three years of part-time study.

Course structure

Candidates complete a thesis on a topic of their choice, approved by the University, within the discipline of Groundwater Management. The thesis must make a distinct contribution to knowledge in the area covered. Its contents may report the results of an original investigation or review, or criticise some aspect of engineering knowledge, or present an engineering design or solution involving the application of new or known techniques to an engineering problem of significance. There are no coursework subjects in this course. There is a formal assessment of progress at the end of the first two semesters for both full-time and part-time candidates, in accordance with University Rule 11.13.
