Master of Engineering (Aerospace) Mid-Year Entry
This degree offers students the chance to specialise in cutting edge technologies aligned to their career pathways. It is suitable for engineering graduates who wish to pursue further studies, as well as engineers with relevant work experience.
The Master of Engineering (Aerospace) is intended for graduates with a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical), or similar qualification, who wish to undertake more advanced studies in aerospace engineering. Aerospace engineering is focused on the development and use of new technologies and materials that are relevant to any high-tech industry including the aeronautical, space and defence industries.
The Master of Engineering comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. The foundation year consists of a set of courses designed to ensure that students acquire a level of expertise in the relevant specialisation. The program equips students with advanced technical expertise in addition to professional practice skills and the opportunity to engage in a research project.
An exit path will be available for students completing only the foundation year, after they satisfy a set requirement in the relevant discipline. In this case a graduate diploma will be awarded.
To remain in this program, students must maintain a high grade point average (GPA) throughout their candidature.
The Master of Engineering (Aerospace) is an Engineers Australia *accredited program.
*It is part of Engineers Australia's practice to only afford provisional accreditation before the first cohort of students graduates, therefore this degree is provisionally accredited.
