Stream Outline
This stream belongs to the proposed 1 year (48UOC) Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science program (program code 5341). The new stream proposal is to ensure alignment of the structural engineering postgraduate program with the UNSW Structure of Postgraduate Programs Policy and Procedures.
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.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
In order to be admitted to the program a student may either hold a 4-year Bachelor of Engineering with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline or an equivalent qualification from a recognised university or tertiary institution, a 3- or 4-year Bachelor of Engineering or Science in a relevant discipline (or equivalent) plus at least 3 years of relevant professional experience (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant to be decided by each specialisation). Articulate from a GradCert at UNSW with a 65% credit average.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
A student may apply to the Program or Stream Authority for advanced standing or exemption as per the UNSW RPL Policy and Procedures. Program or Stream Authorities may grant up to 24UOC of advanced standing or exemption if they consider the student has prior learning (formal, informal or non-formal) where it can be demonstrated that the student has achieved equivalent learning outcomes to the particular course(s). Application for advanced standing or exemption would require substantiating evidence including documents such as academic records, continuing professional education, professional registration and statements of service from the employer.
