Program focus

The Graduate Certificate program is appropriate for those students who wish to extend their knowledge of a specific area of engineering, whereas the Graduate Diploma program allows the student to develop competencies across a broad discipline area. The Graduate Diploma program also includes provision for students to evaluate information critically, and to select and apply an appropriate research design, methodology and analysis to a particular research problem.

The Masters program builds on the Graduate Diploma and allows the student to take either an Engineering Technology Studies Pathway (12 course work units) or undertake a project and prepare a dissertation (8 course work units and a four unit research project).

Students who complete only four units of coursework will be eligible for the award of Graduate Certificate in Engineering Technology. Students who complete the 12 units of coursework in the Engineering Technology Studies Pathway or eight units of coursework and the dissertation will be eligible for the award of Master of Engineering Technology.
