Entry requirements

Requirements are recorded per intake year and per audience. Meeting them does not guarantee an offer.

1. 1. Entry requirements To be eligible for entry, you'll need: a 4-year bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline (see below), or to have completed post-secondary studies and 2 years full-time equivalent relevant work experience (see below). Applications based on post-secondary study and/or work experience will be individually assessed. You must have a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0 on a 7-point scale in your previous qualification Relevant Disciplines depend on the field of study you intend to choose. For the Bioengineering field of study, relevant disciplines include bioengineering, biochemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, chemical engineering, chemical engineering and technology, process engineering. For the Chemical Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines include chemical engineering, chemical engineering and technology or process engineering. For the Civil Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines include civil engineering, structural engineering or civil and structural engineering. For the Electrical Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines include electrical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, electrical power engineering, electronic engineering, telecommunication engineering, communication engineering or power engineering. For the Fire Safety Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines civil engineering, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering or structural engineering. For the Materials and Manufacturing Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines include functional materials, materials engineering, materials science and engineering, or mechanical and manufacturing engineering. For the Mechanical Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines include automotive/vehicle engineering, thermal energy and power engineering, mechanical engineering, mechanical and manufacturing engineering, mechanical and aerospace, mechanical and industrial engineering, mechatronic engineering, mechanical and automation engineering or marine engineering. For the Mechatronic Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines include mechanical engineering, automation engineering, mechatronic engineering, aeronautical engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical and manufacturing engineering, mechanical and industrial engineering, or mechanical and automation engineering. For the Software Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines include software engineering, computer engineering. For the Urban Water Engineering field of study, relevant disciplines include chemical engineering, civil engineering or environment engineering. Relevant work experience includes professional practice or work in an engineering environment relevant to the field of study, to which you are seeking admission. This will need to be supported with evidence. Evidence of relevant work experience should include a letter from your employer (and/or previous employers) clearly stating the following: That you work (or worked) within the specified organisation The nature of your work, detailing any relevant duties and responsibilities to the entry criteria above The length of time you were in your role/s (i.e demonstrating minimum length for entry) and whether this was full-time, part-time, or casual Any further bespoke conditions listed by the entry criteria Letters will typically be expected to be presented on company letterhead and signed by a manager or HR representative. A CV or resume is not a sufficient document on its own, and must be accompanied by a supporting letter as described above. All applications based on work experience are subject to an individual assessment. Entry into a program through work experience does not necessarily provide a pathway into further study in a Masters. 2. Grade Point Average (GPA) on a 4 point scale where 1 is a pass.: 1 3.
