You can build on your undergraduate experience, diversify your skills in a different specialisation or change your career and become a fully-accredited engineer. If you have a degree in a different field, such as science, mathematics or pharmacy and want to pursue a career in engineering, the three-year conversion course gives you the technical skills and knowledge you need to become a practising engineer. There are five engineering specialisations to choose from: chemical, civil, electrical, materials and mechanical. Giving you the opportunity to pursue your interests and career goals, or deepen your existing knowledge.
The Master of Professional Engineering provides a solid foundation for professional development and gives you an edge in the competitive graduate employment market. Undertake Continuous Professional Development and apply for a Work Integrated Learning program placement with our partner organisations for valuable professional and industry experience. Build on your technical knowledge, gain practical experience and develop the professional skills and confidence to create positive change.
As the world’s population explodes, we must adapt our built environment to modern life. Prepare for a top-level job in infrastructure – grow your expertise in the design of steel and timber structures, geomechanics, building technologies, bridge design, computational methods, and much more, in units taught by industry experts. Acquire the technical knowledge essential to design, construct, improve and lead infrastructure projects. Focus on a particular area by selecting a stream in structure, transport or water.
