Stream Outline
The specialisation in Mechanical Engineering is defined by a core of disciplinary knowledge and advanced disciplinary knowledge. It provides a solid postgraduate coursework program for the professional mechanical engineer wishing to upgrade their skills or extend their knowledge.
Entry requirements
A student must hold a Bachelor of Engineering in mechanical engineering or a related discipline with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent), or hold a Graduate Certificate of Engineering with at least a credit average or an equivalent qualification from UNSW or another recognised university or tertiary institution in order to be admitted to the stream.
Those without such a qualification are required to argue their prior learning is equivalent to this qualification. For example, a 3- or 4-year Bachelor of Engineering or Science combined with relevant discipline experience (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant to be decided by each specialisation) may be recognised.
