Master of Engineering

This course is offered on a one-year, full-time or two-year, part-time basis for applicants with a UTS-recognised bachelor's degree in engineering. For applicants without recognised qualifications, it is offered on a one-and-a-half-year, full-time or three-year, part-time basis.

The course is made up of subjects that provide students with flexibility. Classes are usually held in standard mode (weekly attendance) or block mode (attend classes only two or three times during the session per subject).

To be eligible for admission to this course, applicants must meet the following criteria.

Applicants must have one of the following qualifications in Engineering or Information Technology in an area relevant to the proposed major:

• Completed Australian master’s or doctoral degree, or overseas equivalent

OR

• Completed Australian bachelor's degree, graduate diploma or graduate certificate, or overseas equivalent, with more than 75% of all subjects completed at pass level (conceded pass not included)

Applicants who do not meet the criteria above should consider applying for C11236 Graduate Certificate in Engineering.

Applicants who wish to study an Engineering discipline different to that studied during their Undergraduate studies should apply for C11238 Graduate Certificate in Engineering Studies. Where there is uncertainty around the relevance of an undergraduate specialisation and the proposed major, applicants are recommended to proceed with their application which will be reviewed by the Faculty of Engineering and IT.

The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: IELTS Academic: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL iBT: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64 with a writing score of 50; or C1A/C2P: 176-184 with a writing score of 169.

Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.

Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.

Inherent requirements are academic and non-academic requirements that are essential for successfully completing a course at UTS. You can find the inherent requirements for your course via the inherent requirements directory.

Students may be eligible for up to a total of 24cp of subject exemptions based on recognition of prior learning (RPL) as follows:

• Students who have completed subjects deemed by the faculty as being equivalent subjects in a postgraduate program or UTS recognised undergraduate engineering program of a minimum of 4 years or equivalent.
• Subject exemption is applicable only to 12cp from CBK90743 Electives (Engineering), 6cp from CBK90982 Choice (Professional Engineering) and 6cp from the options in the relevant major.

Other/additional RPL may be granted via subject substitution to an alternative/advanced postgraduate subject in a similar field of study.

To be considered for recognition of prior learning, subjects must normally have been completed no more than ten years prior to the commencement of this course.
