Graduate Study in Engineering
Coursework Programs
Professional Entry Masters Programs
Professional entry masters programs by coursework are designed to provide graduates with a formal qualification in engineering, information systems, information technology, and spatial information science at the masters level.
The Melbourne School of Engineering offers four professional entry masters programs:
- the Master of Engineering (in 11 streams)
- the Master of Information Systems (2 year program)
- the Master of Information Technology
- the Master of Spatial Information Science.
Specialised Masters Programs
Our specialised masters by coursework are designed for qualified engineers keen to deepen their knowledge of a specialist area or to engage in new fields of study. Coursework degrees are gained by subject based study, but some research project work may be incorporated and entry pathways to research degrees are available.
In particular these masters programs will suit qualified engineers who wish to:
- update their professional knowledge and skills
- enhance their career opportunities
- switch to a new engineering discipline.
