Become an effective leader in your field of engineering and build research skills. 

The 2-year Master of Engineering course will build on your previous knowledge and allow you to upgrade your qualifications.

Study 100% online, or on-campus with flexibility to study full-time or part-time, and learn from award-winning engineers and lecturers. 

This 2-year course specifically offers hands-on, practical experience, which will help you in your future career as a professional engineer. Special emphasis is placed on the themes of sustainability, creativity, teamwork, design, research and leadership.

This course has been developed in consultation with, and supported by, industry leaders so you'll graduate with engineering skills that directly align with international industry requirements.

As a professional:

Civil and structural engineer, you will be continually challenging traditional civil and construction methods with creativity and innovation to help design and manage structures for the modern world. Key areas include structures, water resources, roads and traffic, bridges, and marine structures.

Electrical and electronics engineer, you will be able to contribute significantly to the design, automation and control of devices which make modern life convenient. You will be involved in electronics, telecommunications, biomedical applications, and power generation and distribution, including renewable energy. You will develop skills in communication methods, electronic control systems and power engineering, together with a background of sustainable engineering principles.

Mechanical engineer, you will be able to make significant contributions to the design and development of machinery to improve transportation, and to provide affordable solutions for manufacturing and industrial production. Key areas include mechatronics, robotics, biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps and pipelines.

Practical Experience

A feature of the course is the completion of 450 hours of professional practice, ensuring that you are familiar with current engineering practice and begin to create your network of engineering contacts for future employment.

The Master of Engineering (all specialisations) is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of Professional Engineer and therefore recognised internationally under the Washington Accord.
