* Other Engineering and Technical Management courses may be taken with the approval of the Stream Authority. Please note that where there is an equivalent school course (in the case of GSOE9810, GSOE9820 and GSOE9830), students are expected to complete the course offered by their own school).
Entry Requirements
* Other Engineering and Technical Management courses may be taken with the approval of the Stream Authority. Please note that where there is an equivalent school course (in the case of GSOE9810, GSOE9820 and GSOE9830), students are expected to complete the course offered by their own school).
Entry Requirements
It is expected that students entering this stream will have completed the equivalent of at least the first 3 years of a UNSW Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in mechanical engineering. The BE is an accredited program under the Washington Accord. As such, the entry criteria are described below:
- Students commencing this Master of Engineering program do so after satisfactory completion of a 4-year non-accredited (under the Washington Accord) Bachelor of Engineering degree in the area of Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent. In addition, they must have achieved a minimum overall average of at least 65% or equivalent, over the duration of the 4-year qualifying Bachelor’s degree.
- Alternatively, eligible applicants include those who hold a 3-year Engineering Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, at least equivalent to the first three years of an Mechanical Engineering degree accredited under the Washington accord, and with a minimum overall average of 65% or equivalent.
Please also refer to the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering for more information about the program.
