Overview
The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is the ideal course for engineers, technical specialists and others 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 and others who are seeking a career 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 multidisciplinary. Knowledge and skills in technical management gained from completing the MEM can assist in obtaining a high-quality engineering or engineering management position.
Admission requirements
Applicants must have completed a UTS recognised bachelor's degree, or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate studies.
The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 575 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 90 overall with a writing score of 21; or DEEP: C; or PTE: 64
Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.
International students
Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.
Recognition of prior learning
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is considered in accordance with the University's policy on RPL (www.gsu.uts.edu.au/policies/priorlearning.html). The maximum amount of RPL granted is 24 credit points if articulating from a graduate certificate course, 18 credit points for UTS Bachelor of Engineering graduates and 12 credit points for all other students (without exception). The faculty does not grant RPL based on work experience.
Course duration and attendance
The course duration is two years if two subjects are taken per semester. The course can also be completed in one year of full-time study if four subjects per semester are completed. The program is structured for evening attendance or distance mode. Extra intensive classes may be held during Summer session.
Course structure
The course requires 48 credit points of study. A minimum of 36 credit points (six subjects) must be completed from the list of MEM core subjects. Any remaining credit points should be completed from other postgraduate subjects within UTS: Engineering in the range 49000 to 49999, except for 49277, 49278, 49279, 49454, 49458, 49459, 49460, 49461, 49462, 49463, 49464 and 49465. Not less than 60 per cent (five subjects) of the total number of credit points must be completed through subjects offered by UTS: Engineering.
