Overview
This program allows students to complete the Master of Engineering (ME) and the Master of Engineering Management (MEM) in two years of full-time study. The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through professional engineering subjects, subjects relating to the major, an independent graduate project (in the area of the major), and a set of electives.
This course is for professional engineers who want to combine the Master of Engineering with a specific major with the Master of Engineering Management. This enables students to gain both technical and management skills in an accelerated way and complete two courses in two years rather than three years individually.
Career options
Students who hold an undergraduate engineering degree are able to enhance their ability and knowledge through postgraduate-level studies in their respective majors, and gain knowledge and skills that enhance their ability to progress to engineering management roles.
Course intended learning outcomes
| A.1 | Master of Engineering Master of Engineering Management graduates are culturally and historically well informed, able to co-design projects as respectful professionals when working in and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. |
| B.1 | Master of Engineering Master of Engineering Management graduates are socially adaptable and responsible professionals, able to engage and influence a broad range of stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of values, needs, and priorities. They identify and evaluate the needs and impacts (such as social, ethical, environmental, economic effectiveness, safety, operational, maintenance, reliability, and quality) of engineering systems. |
| C.1 | Master of Engineering Master of Engineering Management graduates apply research, problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies and leadership practices to design components, systems, processes and solutions to meet specified requirements and to propose technical and/or management solutions and implementation strategies. They interpret and transmit knowledge, skills and ideas to specialist and non-specialist audiences and exercise judgement to evaluate and respond to system sustainability, constraints, risks, conflicts and uncertainties (social, economic and environmental). |
| D.1 | Master of Engineering Master of Engineering Management graduates exhibit advanced and integrated understanding of complex systems and possess expert, specialised cognitive and technical skills. They possess the ability to 1) research and apply established technical and management theories to synthesise, critically analyse and reflect on complex information, problems, and concepts in discipline fundamentals, to evaluate, implement and operate complex systems and 2) predict and judge the impacts of management solutions using ethical, social, commercial and environmental metrics of success. |
| E.1 | Master of Engineering Master of Engineering Management graduates communicate effectively in a variety of ways (accurate and active listening, dialogue, reading, writing, negotiating and contractually) to coordinate, manage and lead diverse teams and projects. They collaborate formally and informally to engage, influence and manage diverse stakeholders to operate within cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural contexts in the workplace. |
| F.1 | Master of Engineering Master of Engineering Management graduates self-review their own competence to practice proficiently, anticipate consequences of intended actions or inaction and identify ethical dilemmas when they arise. They take responsibility and accountability for their own lifelong learning and seek to offer constructive reviews to improve: their own performance, their teams, and society. |
Admission requirements
To be eligible for admission to this course, applicants must meet the following criteria.
Applicants must have one of the following qualifications in Engineering or Information Technology in an area relevant to the proposed major:
- Completed Australian master’s or doctoral degree, or overseas equivalent
OR
- Completed Australian bachelor's degree, graduate diploma or graduate certificate, or overseas equivalent, with more than 75% of all subjects completed at pass level (conceded pass not included)
Applicants who do not meet the criteria above should consider applying for C11236 Graduate Certificate in Engineering.
Applicants who wish to study an Engineering discipline different to that studied during their Undergraduate studies should apply for C11238 Graduate Certificate in Engineering Studies. Where there is uncertainty around the relevance of an undergraduate specialisation and the proposed major, applicants are recommended to proceed with their application which will be reviewed by the Faculty of Engineering and IT.
The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: IELTS Academic: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL iBT: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64 with a writing score of 50; or C1A/C2P: 176-184 with a writing score of 169.
Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.
International students
Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.
Inherent requirements
Inherent requirements are academic and non-academic requirements that are essential to the successful completion of a course. For more information about inherent requirements and where prospective and current students can get assistance and advice regarding these, see the UTS Inherent requirements page.
Prospective and current students should carefully read the Inherent Requirements Statement below and consider whether they might experience challenges in successfully completing this course.
UTS will make reasonable adjustments to teaching and learning, assessment, professional experiences, course related work experience and other course activities to facilitate maximum participation by students with disabilities, carer responsibilities, and religious or cultural obligations in their courses.
For course specific information see the Faculty of Engineering & Information Technology Inherent (Essential) Requirements Statement.
Recognition of prior learning
Recognition of prior learning is not available for this course.
The substitution of core subjects with an alternative/advanced postgraduate subject in a similar field of study may be granted.
Course duration and attendance
This course is offered on a two-year, full-time or four-year, part-time basis.
The course is made up of subjects that provide students with flexibility. Classes are usually held in standard mode (weekly attendance) or in block mode (attend classes only two or three times during the session per subject).
Course structure
Students are required to complete 96 credit points, comprising professional engineering/management subjects (42 credit points), a major (42 credit points) including an independent project, and electives (12 credit points). The project component consists of a preparatory subject and a project (in the area of the major) which must be undertaken in successive sessions, typically the final two sessions of the course.

Course program
The sample program below shows a suggested sequence of subjects for the Civil Engineering major for a full-time student commencing the course in Autumn session. Students in other majors follow a similar sequence. The program is intended as a guide only and does not take into account such factors as recognition of prior learning, changes in attendance mode and subject availability, or satisfactory academic progress. Students should consult the Timetable Planner to confirm the availability of subjects in the current academic year.
Note: The project subjects, 42908 and 42003, must be undertaken in successive sessions, typically the final two sessions of the course.
