Overview

Many working engineers and technologists do not have the time to commit to a full Master's course. However, the demand for management knowledge among engineers is increasing. The Graduate Certificate in Engineering Management is designed to provide management knowledge which can be tailored to fit students' needs.

The course is designed to provide practised engineers with extended knowledge beyond their first degree and to update knowledge and skills in recent advances in engineering, technology and business practice.

Articulation

All the subjects in this course are taken from the Master of Engineering Management (MEM) (C04094) and may be credited towards the MEM on successful admission to that program.

Additional admission requirements

An applicant should:

  • be a graduate in Engineering of UTS, or
  • hold a degree or equivalent from another higher education institution in engineering or another technological/applied science field deemed equivalent in standard to the Bachelor of Engineering at UTS, or
  • for those without formal qualifications, produce such other evidence of general and professional qualifications sufficient to show the educational preparation and capacity to pursue graduate studies.

Applicants should have two years of relevant work experience, or one year of structured industrial experience equivalent to that required for the Bachelor of Engineering degree at UTS, and must submit a covering letter indicating why they wish to undertake the course and a detailed curriculum vitae.

Additional recognition of prior learning

Recognition of Prior Learning will be considered in accordance with the University policy on RPL (which can be viewed on the web). The maximum amount of RPL granted is: 6cp (without exception).

Course duration and attendance

The course can be completed in one semester of full-time study or one year of part-time study.

Subjects may be taken in the evening or by distance mode.

Course structure

Students complete 24 credit points of study. A minimum of 18 credit points comes from the core of the Master of Engineering Management and the remainder from core or elective subjects. Elective subjects are to be chosen from postgraduate subjects offered within the Faculty of Engineering.
