Graduate Diploma of Engineering
Central Queensland University
About
The Graduate Diploma of Engineering provides three or four-year qualified engineers with an opportunity to develop further skills and knowledge in their current engineering discipline or in related areas.
In this course, you may choose units from areas such as sustainability, mining, rail, and project management, as well as a range of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering units.
This course is delivered in mixed mode, giving you the flexibility to study while working or living in a remote location.
On completion of the Graduate Diploma, you may continue your study and obtain a Master of Engineering.
