Gain specialised skills in electrical power, telecommunications, or civil engineering and aim for a top engineering career with the Master of Engineering.

The Master of Engineering prepares you for work in fast-growing industries, with a strong emphasis on real-world problem-solving and international trends.

You’ll acquire targeted skills through a combination of coursework, design exercises and research. You’ll have the chance to develop and implement innovative telecommunication, power-distribution or civil-engineering solutions, with real-world applications.

To be considered for postgraduate study, you will need to have specific academic qualifications, as outlined below. We also consider non-academic research and work experience for our research candidates.

Admission criteria

Completion of an Australian Bachelor of Engineering degree or equivalent three or four year undergraduate degree in a cognate discipline to the specialisation offered in the degree. OR Completion of an Australian Bachelor of Engineering Honours degree or equivalent four year undergraduate degree in a cognate discipline to the specialisation offered in the degree. OR Completion of an Australian Graduate Diploma of Engineering (or equivalent) in a cognate discipline to the specialisation offered in the degree. PLUS IELTS (or equivalent): Overall score of 6.5 (with no band less than 6.0 in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking)

On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Conceptually map the most recent theoretical developments in their Engineering specialisation and justify their application in various contemporary and emerging professional contexts;
2. Contribute to the discourse and practice around ‘engineering sustainability’ and elaborate the links between Engineering and innovation;
3. Critically apply knowledge and skills relevant to both their chosen specialisation and the broader discipline of Engineering to new and uncertain professional practice scenarios, exhibiting a high level of personal autonomy and accountability;
4. Design and evaluate Engineering projects or research which address complex issues and communicate subsequent findings to specialist and non-specialist audiences; and
5. Formulate and implement project management strategies that accurately meet stakeholder needs and expectations.

On graduation you'll be able to prepare for a career in one of the following:

• power generation, transmission, distribution, management and control
• managing, designing and developing telecommunication network systems
• microelectronic and electronic design
• water-related government organisations and private firms.
