Master of Engineering Studies

Overview

The objective of this program is to provide graduates with engineering skills at a level between the Bachelor and Masters by Research degree levels.

Entry Requirements/Assumed Knowledge

A four-year degree equivalent to an Australian Bachelors, in Computer, Electrical, Electronics or Telecommunications Engineering.

Course Requirements

Under the Masters Degree Rules, candidates must accumulate a total of not less than 48 credit points by the satisfactory completion of subjects, approved by the Head of School, as indicated below.

The complete list of subjects available under the Master of Engineering Studies is presented below. In any given year, the subjects presented under the individual programs that follow may be replaced by equivalent subjects from this list.

Graduates with an interest in mechatronics are invited to take specialised subjects from the Automation and Power Engineering program.
