We also have active research projects in structural analysis, instrumentation, numerical analysis and simulation, digital communications and mechatronics. Supervision of both Masters and Doctoral candidates is available in all these areas. Each year the University and the Faculty award scholarships for studies towards a higher degree. Some research projects gain external funding which provides for a postgraduate stipend which allows a student to work full time on the project. The University also awards a small number of Australian Postgraduate Research Awards each year to outstanding candidates.
Full fee paying students are also a valued part of our postgraduate programme.
The fees payable vary from year to year, and you can obtain initial information about costs and available support fro the International Education Centre. Master of Engineering Course Objectives Candidates who complete the course should be able to demonstrate a broad knowledge of one field of engineering, have a detailed knowledge of at least one significant aspect of engineering with the ability to prepare and evaluate solutions to complex problems in that area, know the available sources of information, be able to properly carry out research and investigations, and have significant ability in written and spoken communication on technical matters. Entry Requirements Entry to the Master of Engineering course will be restricted to those who have demonstrated exceptional ability at the undergraduate level or who, in the pursuit of their occupation, or by other means, have demonstrated their ability to successfully undertake studies at the graduate level. It may be required that the candidate should undertake a preliminary course of studies in order to upgrade particular skills so that the research work may be carried out more effectively. In all cases, the award of the degree is dependent only on the examination and assessment of the thesis.
