Master of Professional Engineering (62550)

The University of Western Australia

About

UWA's admission requirements for some postgraduate courses have changed for Semester 2, 2020 to facilitate student access to study during the COVID-19 situation.

In many cases, these changes may not be extended beyond 2020.

Contact Future Students for more information.This course is a professionally accredited engineering degree for students who have completed undergraduate studies in engineering.

Students specialise in a program of engineering and undertake advanced engineering technical units, a design and a research project, and professional units.

The course, designed in consultation with industry, equips graduates with both outstanding technical skills and the ability to work creatively as part of a team across the breadth of an engineering challenge.
