Chemical engineering uses chemistry, physics and mathematics to convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms; and extractive metallurgy is involved in plant design, development, operations and control, management and research.
The Master of Philosophy aims to expand knowledge beyond the undergraduate honours or postgraduate diploma level, culminating in a research thesis. Upon completion of a master by research degree, you may apply to be considered for entry into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program.
This program provides students with advanced study in engineering project management. It is designed to extend and deepen the knowledge and skills gained from an undergraduate degree in engineering.
Entry Requirements
To be eligible for admission to Master of Engineering Project Management Advanced, a student must hold:
a Bachelor degree in Engineering or equivalent three year or four year Engineering undergraduate degree from a recognised university (or another tertiary education institution of equivalent standing)
OR a Bachelor Honours degree in Engineering or equivalent four year Engineering undergraduate degree from a recognised university (or another tertiary education institution of equivalent standing)
OR a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Project Management.
Students admitted to the program with a Bachelor Honours degree in Engineering or equivalent four year Engineering undergraduate degree or a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Project Management will be eligible for 40 credit points of advanced standing towards the program. The following degrees are considered to be equivalent to a Bachelor Honours degree in Engineering:
four year Engineering undergraduate degree that includes a significant final year research project component (one semester thesis) from an Australian university;
four year Engineering undergraduate degree that includes a significant final year research project component (one semester thesis) from a NOOSR Section 1 University.
Note: Students currently enrolled in the Master of Engineering Project Management (5660) will be eligible to transfer to the Master of Engineering Project Management Advanced prior to graduation. Graduates of the Master of Engineering Project Management (5660) are not eligible for admission to this program.
The course provides a balance in knowledge and skills between the three key areas of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, with a strong focus on project-based and multidisciplinary learning.
Specialise in one of eight engineering disciplines in the Master of Professional Engineering and become a professionally accredited engineer who is highly sought after by industry.
