Advance your engineering, computer science or project management career

Benefits of postgraduate study

A postgraduate qualification in engineering, project management, transport or computer science will give you the edge in a global economy that places a premium on demonstrated professional skills and genuine innovation.

Engineering courses

Hone your management skills and strengthen your technical expertise with a Master of Engineering. Or change paths and build a career in engineering with a Master of Professional Engineering (Accelerated).

If you are a qualified engineer and looking to strengthen your management capability and technical knowledge, this is the ideal course for you. Or perhaps you want to update your engineering skills or specialise in a particular area linked to your job or career aspirations.

The Master of Engineering allows you to build on your existing engineering undergraduate degree by developing specialised technical knowledge in one of 13 engineering specialisations:

Recognition of prior learning

Your prior qualifications or in some cases, work experience, may enable you to reduce the number of credit points required to complete your degree.

To see how it works, read about credit for previous study for your Master of Engineering.

The Master of Professional Engineering will help you to develop the sound communications, management and decision-making capabilities necessary to interpret and discuss complex issues in your chosen area of specialisation.

This 3-year full-time degree will provide you with the engineering professional practice and research skills that lead to recognition as an Australian graduate engineer. Your qualifications will also be recognised internationally through the Washington Accord of the International Engineering Alliance.

Each of the following fields are either fully, provisionally, or in the process of being accredited by Engineers Australia, the national accreditation body.
