• Course description arrow_forward_ios

  This course targets professional engineers seeking to enhance their expertise with the latest industry developments. It provides a flexible pathway to postgraduate studies without immediately requiring you to commit to a master's degree. It offers a unique combination of professional engineering subjects, and subjects tailored to your chosen area of specialisation. You'll acquire advanced knowledge and practical skills transferable to a subsequent master's program, with recognition for completed subjects. Learning occurs through a blend of theoretical and applied modules, accommodating the schedules of working professionals.

  This course allows busy professional engineers to embark on postgraduate studies before committing to a master's degree. The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through professional engineering subjects and subjects relating to a particular stream (major). Upon completion, students may articulate to a relevant master's program with credit for the subjects completed in this course.
