Career pathways

Students who hold an undergraduate engineering degree are able to enhance their knowledge and ability through postgraduate-level study in their respective majors, enabling them to gain and hold employment in relevant engineering fields. Students who are currently employed are able to enhance their opportunity to solve engineering problems encountered in their profession and thus may receive commendation for their achievement. There may be opportunities in the research and development areas related to their specific engineering field.

Course structure

Candidates complete coursework subjects and an independent graduate project totalling 96 credit points. The project component consists of a preparatory subject and a project (in the area of the major) which must be undertaken in successive sessions.

Some majors may require students to complete a number of prescribed subjects with or without opportunity for electives. Subjects are selected from postgraduate programs offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.

A major is granted if subjects and project totalling at least 60 credit points are completed within one of the designated majors.
