Stream Outline
The Graduate Diploma program is suited to practising engineers and other graduates wishing to pursue a specialised range of courses to enhance their career opportunities in a particular area.
ENTRY REQUIRMENTS
In order to be admitted to the program a student would be expected to hold a Bachelor of Engineering with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline or hold a Graduate Certificate of Engineering with at least a credit average or an equivalent qualification from a recognised university or tertiary institution in order to be admitted to the program.
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.
Why do a postgraduate course work program?
Whether you choose to undertake a Postgraduate Coursework program straight after your undergraduate studies, a few years into your career or as part of continuous professional development, it will help you to:

Why do a postgraduate course work program?
Whether you choose to undertake a Postgraduate Coursework program straight after your undergraduate studies, a few years into your career or as part of continuous professional development, it will help you to:
- Excel in your field: by extending your knowledge with highly specialised training.
- Further develop key transferable skills: such as research and analysis, problem-solving, teamwork, management and communication
- Expand your options: by complementing existing knowledge or retraining to open new career opportunities.
