Masters (Coursework)
You must have a recognised four year full-time bachelor degree in an electrical or mechanical engineering or a related engineering area with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 4.00 (on QUT's 7-point scale).
Electrical Engineering
A completed recognised four year full-time Bachelor in an electrical engineering or related area with an overall grade point average of 4.0 (on QUT's 7-point scale); OR
A completed recognised three year full-time Bachelor in an electrical engineering or related area with an overall grade point average of 4.0 (on QUT's 7-point scale) and two years full time professional work experience in Electrical Engineering. Students applying on the basis of work experience must submit a current curriculum vitae and employer statements detailing roles and responsibilities.

This course is designed to prepare professional engineers for careers in which they will need advanced engineering knowledge and understanding of current practice in specialist fields such as electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. It will provide the skill sets to approach new problems creatively with initiative accountability and planning.
Complete two master degrees in two years
Our combined masters packages allow you to complete two masters degrees in just two years. You can choose from:
Graduates are equipped with an understanding of how to apply knowledge gained in undergraduate study to real-life working situations. Graduates may choose to become specialist engineers within their chosen professional field or use the skills and knowledge gained to diversify their capabilities across a broader spectrum of disciplines.
To graduate with a Master of Engineering you are required to complete 96 credit points of course units consisting of:
48 credit points of core engineering postgraduate units including advanced research skills and research based project units a professional practice unit and an advanced discipline unit. Plus 48 credit points of advanced discipline and units from your specialisation (mechanical or electrical) to be selected from a list of options.
Option units provide added depth and breadth in your chosen discipline area as such you should select an alternate unit if you have completed a similar or equivalent unit in your previous studies.
