Launched into a
fascinating feld
“
An undergraduate degree
at Melbourne provides an
excellent launch pad to
delve into specifc areas of
engineering.
I’m fascinated by the
intersection of engineering
and medicine. With members
of my extended family using
medical devices to deal with
their health conditions, I am
driven to make a valuable
contribution to the feld.

GRADUATE LEVEL
Master of Engineering
The Master of Engineering is available
in the following specialisations:
Biomedical Engineering
Biomolecular Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Geomatics
Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics
Software Engineering
Structural Engineering.
The Master of Engineering is designed
to produce graduate engineers with
outstanding personal and professional
qualities. By studying the Master of
Engineering, you’ll gain technical
expertise, industry exposure and
professional accreditation, giving you
insight into the social, environmental
and economic aspects of real-world
engineering problem solving.
Career outcomes
Our engineering graduates are skilled
communicators, audience-attuned,
teamwork-ready and able to understand
the bigger picture. As an engineering
graduate you’ll be in demand, and have
a unique set of business, technical,
analytical and interpersonal skills. These
skills are transferable, making you an ideal
candidate for a career in engineering,
business, government, research and
management.
Professional recognition
The Master of Engineering programs
are the frst in Australia to be granted
European accreditation through
EUR-ACE®, meaning graduates
can work as chartered engineers
throughout Europe. The programs
are also provisionally accreditated
W
by Engineers Australia, a signatory
to the Washington Accord, which
allows graduates to work as
professional engineers in 12 countries
including the US, UK, Canada and
Singapore. Students who complete an
undergraduate degree with appropriate
studies in engineering, followed by
the Master of Engineering, will receive
accreditation as a professional engineer.
Q
Students undertaking sequences in Bioengineering Systems and Chemical Systems in the Bachelor
of Commerce will be required to complete a 2.5-year Master of Engineering.
W
Provisional accreditation granted by Engineers Australia in May 2009. The process for obtaining
full accreditation is underway and will be fnalised in 2013.
