Why study the Master of Engineering?
The Master of Engineering can be taken as a two-year graduate entry program (for students with the equivalent of a 3-year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program in a relevant field); or as a three-year graduate entry program (for students with an approved degree in engineering or other relevant studies - for example, a Bachelor of Science with appropriate studies in chemistry). The Master of Engineering provides students with the ability to advance their engineering knowledge and skills in one of a range of specialised fields and demonstrate their learning through practice-focused and advanced technical courses, experiential learning experiences, and research projects. The 3-year program includes foundational courses that allow students who do not have a background in the field to make up the necessary content. Credit towards some of the foundational content may be possible for the 3-year program, thereby reducing the duration.
