Course Overview
Master degrees (coursework) prepare students to apply advanced knowledge for professional practice, scholarship and further learning corresponding to AQF level 9 qualifications.
This master’s course is essentially a higher degree programme specifically designed for graduates with Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering Degrees from overseas allowing them to acquire an Australian postgraduate qualification in mechanical engineering. This programme is not available for Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering graduates from Australian universities.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials.
Course Entry and Completion Details
Applicants are required to meet University academic and English language entry standards; details are provided at http://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au. Subject to the duration of the course applicants usually require a bachelor degree or equivalent (and may require relevant work experience), bachelor honours degree, graduate certificate or graduate diploma.
Specifically, applicants for consideration must have Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree at honours level (or equivalent) from a recognised overseas university. Mechanical engineering graduates from Australian universities are not eligible to apply. The Department may evaluate applications from graduates in other mechanically-related engineering disciplines, but such cases will be considered on a case-by-case basis for admission.
Credit for Recognised Learning
Applications for Credit for Recognised Learning are not considered within this course.
Pathway to Further Study
Graduates may qualify for entry to doctoral degrees. For further details, see the University website http://curtin.edu.au.
