Masters (Coursework)
Be inspired and take the lead with a Master of Professional Engineering. Whether you've completed undergraduate studies in engineering or in another field, the Master of Professional Engineering is the key to a career as an internationally recognised professional engineer. In this masters program you'll specialise in engineering technical, research and professional units and undertake design and research projects, blending theory and practice. This course is designed for students who have completed undergraduate studies and are seeking an internationally recognised engineering qualification* to practice as a professional engineer in Australia and other Washington Accord countries.
You can build on your undergraduate experience, diversify your skills in a different specialisation or change your career and become a fully-accredited engineer. If you have a degree in a different field, such as science, mathematics or pharmacy and want to pursue a career in engineering, the three-year conversion course gives you the technical skills and knowledge you need to become a practising engineer. There are five engineering specialisations to choose from: chemical, civil, electrical, materials and mechanical. Giving you the opportunity to pursue your interests and career goals, or deepen your existing knowledge.
The Master of Professional Engineering provides a solid foundation for professional development and gives you an edge in the competitive graduate employment market. Undertake Continuous Professional Development and apply for a Work Integrated Learning program placement with our partner organisations for valuable professional and industry experience. Build on your technical knowledge, gain practical experience and develop the professional skills and confidence to create positive change.
*The Master of Professional Engineering has been designed to meet the Stage 1 competencies for accreditation by Engineers Australia (EA). The Faculty has commenced the accreditation process for full recognition by EA and currently has provisional accreditation. Once accredited, your masters degree will be an internationally recognised qualification which allows you to work as a professional engineer in Australia and other Washington Accord signatory countries.
