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 deepens the body of knowledge acquired in their first degree as well as expands 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. Students also have the option of not electing a major.

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

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.
