Master of Engineering

Overview

The Master of Engineering allows the student to combine specialist postgraduate subjects, according to his or her undergraduate background, with project work. The program comprises a 24 credit point dissertation and at least 24 credit points of coursework. The dissertation typically requires rigorous research in a specialised area – normally in the area of coursework components undertaken.
