 4. Further study options

The Faculty of Engineering is at the forefront of engineering education and research in Australia and is continually seeking to foster and develop engineering creativity through design and innovation. Postgraduate programs include:

• Masters by research in computer science, geomatic engineering, engineering science and applied science, the latter two in the areas of electrical engineering, mechanical and manufacturing engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering, chemical engineering, computer science and geographic information systems (through the master of applied science only).

• masters by coursework in engineering science and applied science in the areas of development technologies, environmental engineering and geographic information systems (through the Master of Applied Science only) and include the recently developed range of innovative 12-month postgraduate programs in environmental engineering, energy technology, water resources management, development technology, utilities management, software systems engineering and telecommunications. The Masters of Telecommunications program is available both on campus and by distance education for students unable to attend classes due to distance or work commitments.

• Doctorates in all engineering disciplines.

• Graduate certificates, graduate and postgraduate diplomas in a number of disciplines. (These often are taken as a pathway to a masters degree by students whose undergraduate degrees would normally preclude direct entry into a masters program.)

Students with excellent results in their undergraduate studies who are offered a full-time place in postgraduate research courses (masters or doctorate) may be eligible for a scholarship. There are no scholarships for coursework postgraduate study in the Faculty of Engineering.

Postgraduate course requirements are set out in the Faculty of Engineering Research and Graduate Programs Handbook, on the web at http://www.eng.unimelb.edu.au or contact the postgraduate office by e-mail postgrad@eng.unimelb.edu.au.
