What will I learn?

Engineers combine innovative thinking and technical expertise to develop creative solutions to natural and human problems. Engineers require up to the minute knowledge and expertise in their varying fields to maintain accreditation and offer the best solutions to their sector. This degree is designed for students looking to further their career by upskilling, retraining, refreshing on recent developments in the field or further specialising in an area of engineering. You’ll have the flexibility to specialise in one area or broaden your knowledge in other areas of Engineering. As you build on your knowledge, you’ll meet the requirements to maintain professional accreditation standards and continue your professional development. Exciting and practical, this degree features complex, open-ended enquiry-based projects as well as many other opportunities to help you become a leader in your field. Students will develop their technical knowledge and ability to analyse engineering problems. They will also gain further skills in solving engineering problems and justifying professional decisions. The completion of an enquiry-based project provides a pathway toward postgraduate research degrees.

Entry requirements

For international students

UNSW provides two entry points to the Master of Engineering Science depending on your cognate background. This provides a structured and supportive option for students with a non-cognate background, while enabling students with cognate backgrounds earlier flexibility in their course selection. Both entry points equate to the same duration of 2 years (96 UoC), and differ only in the order and structure of core foundation courses.

Entry into the Masters program requires completion of a 4-year Bachelor of Engineering degree (or equivalent) or 3-year Engineering Science degree in a cognate discipline.

A minimum 65% average, or its equivalent, throughout the qualifying bachelors degree is mandatory.*

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
