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.

Career options

Students who have a basic engineering undergraduate degree are able to enhance their ability and knowledge through master's-level courses in their respective majors, enabling them to gain and hold employment in their respective engineering fields.

Credit recognition

Students who have previously undertaken postgraduate study at a university or other recognised tertiary education institutions may be eligible for some academic credit recognition if the subjects previously completed are deemed by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology to be equivalent to subjects, and relevant to the course applied.

The prior study must have been completed before commencement of this course, but no earlier than 10 years before commencement. Students must be able to demonstrate that their knowledge is current.

Course duration and attendance

The course requires one year of full-time or two years of part-time study.

Subjects are offered as three-hour weekly sessions in block mode. Some subjects may be available in distance mode. Subjects offered by distance mode require similar hours but at the convenience of the student.

Course structure

Students must complete eight postgraduate subjects (totalling 48 credit points) offered by UTS: Engineering. Students wishing to have a major noted on their academic transcript must complete subjects as specified under that major.

Course program

The tables below give details of each major: for each major there are three tables. The first lists the compulsory subjects and allowable option choices for the major. The next two tables show the subjects typically offered in Autumn and Spring semesters. Where an elective is specified, the subject is to be chosen from postgraduate subjects offered within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, as listed in the elective option. Some subjects are offered in weekly mode, others in block mode, and others in distance mode or a combination of modes.
