Overview
This course has been developed by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology and the UTS Business School to provide professional engineers with the advantages of a generalist Master of Business Administration alongside a focused program in engineering management. The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through engineering management/professional engineering subjects, business administration subjects, and an independent project in engineering management.
The program allows students to complete the Master of Engineering Management and Master of Business Administration in two years of full-time study.
Career options
This course is suitable for professional engineers who want to upskill in engineering management and business administration with the aim of taking up leadership roles.

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 48 credit points in engineering management and 48 credit points in business administration. The project component consists of a preparatory subject and a project (in engineering management) which must be undertaken in successive sessions, typically the final two sessions of the course.
In order to receive the two qualifications within two years, students are required to remain enrolled in the course for the entire two years of full-time study. Students cannot exit the course after one year with a Master of Engineering Management, nor complete the Master of Engineering Management (C04275) (totalling 72 credit points) and expect to complete 24 credit points in this course to receive a Master of Business Administration.
