Graduate Certificate in Engineering
Central Queensland University
About
If you are a three or four-year qualified engineer, the Graduate Certificate in Engineering will provide you with an opportunity to develop further skills and knowledge either in your current engineering discipline or in related discipline areas.
You will study 24 credit points of units chosen from topics including sustainability, mining, project management and rail as well as a range of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering units.
You may also choose to continue your study towards a Graduate Diploma of Engineering or Master of Engineering.
This course is available in mixed mode, giving you the flexibility to study even if working or living in a remote location.
