Program Overview

The Master of Engineering is a flexible postgraduate degree delivered by Australia’s leading engineering faculty and designed for students who require an accredited engineering qualification.

You can choose from one of nine specialisations: Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Renewable Energy and Telecommunications.

Engineers work across a range of disciplines, all requiring a high level of knowledge, skills and expertise. Responsible for developing solutions and products relied on by countless people, all engineers require formal accreditation before they can begin working. This degree will build on your prior undergraduate study and is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia. 

The Master of Engineering includes an integrated industrial training component and courses to develop your technical knowledge and skills in engineering management, analysis and design to ensure you graduate career-ready and accredited.

Your education will provide in-depth knowledge as well as deeper project experience and increased technical confidence across selected research disciplines. You’ll continue your professional development and be able to update your qualifications and knowledge to meet or maintain professional accreditation standards.

You’ll be prepared for work as a professional engineer through specialised study in your area of professional interest, equipping you with the required knowledge and skills for a rewarding career in engineering.

Mechanical Engineering
UNSW Master of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) is a two-year postgraduate degree offered at Australia’s top engineering faculty. This flexible postgraduate degree lets you specialise in mechanical engineering and gain in-depth knowledge and technical ability while continuing your professional development through industrial training.

This degree is an entry point for graduates who want to pursue a career as an engineer with accreditation by Engineers Australia. In this degree, you’ll gain the theory, tools and strategies to design engineering systems and manage a product’s full life-cycle. You’ll gain advanced disciplinary knowledge and practical experience in areas of:

• Computer-aided design and manufacture
• Machine condition monitoring
• Acoustics and noise
• Composite materials and mechanics
• Solar thermal energy design
• Automobile engine technology

The Master of Engineering includes an integrated 60 days industrial training component and courses to develop your technical knowledge and skills in engineering management, analysis and design to ensure you graduate career-ready and accredited.

Through an extensive research project, you’ll have the opportunity to extend your knowledge in a specific area of interest. The project enables students to gain valuable?skills in?project planning?and management?and learn methods to undertake the?critical analysis,?interpretation and communication of results.?
