The Master of Engineering Science enables students with appropriate undergraduate qualifications to undertake more advanced study in engineering and possibly to specialise in the following streams:

C4ISREW
Data Communications and Analysis
Electrical Engineering

The Master of Engineering Science program provides students with the opportunity to acquire high level understanding and advanced analytical skills in the key areas of Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Data Communication. Coverage of courses in this program spans the engineering disciplines and the management of projects frequently incorporating those engineering disciplines. There is strong emphasis on extending undergraduate skills and knowledge and vocational experiences to enable graduates to apply their high level understanding to real world complex engineering problems and their management.

Students undertaking the Master of Engineering Science program are required to complete 48 UOC in courses from any of the streams available in this program. Students enrolling in a specific stream must satisfy the core and elective course requirements specified in the particular stream in which they are enrolled. The elective options provide the flexibility to tailor the degree to meet individual needs and requirements.
