Why study engineering science at UoN?

The Master of Engineering Science Degree is a postgraduate coursework program suitable for science and engineering graduates. Students have the opportunity to create the kind of Masters program that best meets their requirements through the choice of the specialisations. These specialisations fall into three categories, covering Technical Courses, Management and an Engineering Project (which may be conducted in the work place or on campus). Technical courses are offered in the areas of Mineral Processing and

Energy. Students who have completed a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science or a Graduate Certificate in Innovation and Commercialisation (and meet the MEngSc entry requirements) are required to complete another specialisation to be awarded the Master of Engineering Science. Please note: Students are unable to combine Mineral Processing with the Energy specialisation.

 

 

Be equipped with valuable and highly transferable skills

The Master of Engineering Science program consists of courses chosen from two specialisations, each of 40 units. Students must successfully complete a minimum of 80 units of study, consisting of two 40 unit specialisations.

 

Responsive teaching and real-world experiences

Students have the opportunity to obtain considerable practical experience in this program via the Engineering Project. This experience may be based on an engineering consultancy, design, or research project and can be conducted either in the work place or on the University campus. Technical courses will also expose students to practical demonstration of new technology in the laboratory.

Fast-track your career

This Masters program recognises the different career pathways that science and engineering professionals working in industry choose to take, usually either managerial or technical. The technical specialisations are especially relevant to the energy sector (e.g. Clean Coal Technology), and also to those who wish to work in the coal or mineral processing industries. Others interested in research and development, innovation and commercialisation sectors will also benefit.
