Graduate Diploma
The Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science is a pathway to the Master of Engineering (Biomedical) or Master of Engineering (Electronics) for graduates of science and nonaccredited engineering degrees. It can also be taken as a standalone course. Graduates who do not wish to continue with a Master of Engineering will be prepared for careers in engineering-related fields, where the skills and knowledge of engineering fundamentals and the ability to communicate with engineering professionals are required. The combination of this Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science together with one of Flinders' Master of Engineering programs is provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer. Full accreditation is normally granted when the first cohort of students graduate from the program. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Once fully accredited graduates of a Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science / Master of Engineering combination will meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.
