Overview
This degree may be awarded to candidates who have completed an individual program of supervised work and submitted a thesis embodying the results. Topics which involve close cooperation with industry are strongly encouraged, and a majority of current candidates are engaged in topics which are actively supported by their employers.
This degree provides practising engineers with an opportunity to pursue, in depth, the solution of an 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
Career options include positions in universities and other institutions undertaking research or other academic work including teaching. Opportunities involving research and development also exist with national and international firms.
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 research studies.

Candidates who are specially qualified in the relevant discipline may be allowed to complete the program in less than the maximum time.
Course structure
The Master of Engineering is undertaken by candidates who complete a thesis on a topic of their choice, which has been approved by the University. 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.
