Graduate Diploma of Engineering

Expand your knowledge and skills and acquire an in-depth understanding in an engineering discipline of your choosing.

The Graduate Diploma of Engineering builds on your existing engineering studies and knowledge.

The course teaches technical expertise and management skills.

Select a specialisation from one of six options:

Advanced Manufacturing, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Network Systems and Telecommunications or Structural Engineering.

Depending on your chosen specialisation, you’ll graduate with the skills and knowledge to pursue work as an engineer in a range of areas.

The Graduate Diploma of Engineering aims to expand the students’ knowledge and skills in engineering and acquire an in-depth knowledge of a particular specialisation, and gain technical expertise and management skills.

To qualify for the Graduate Diploma of Engineering, students must complete 100 credit points comprising of:

• 8 prescribed specialisation-specific units (100 credit points).

Six specialisations are available in the Graduate Diploma of Engineering:

• Advanced Manufacturing
• Civil
• Electrical and Electronic
• Mechanical
• Network Systems and Telecommunications
• Structural

The Graduate Diploma of Engineering forms part of a nested suite of postgraduate courses:

• Graduate Certificate of Engineering (50 credit points)
• Graduate Diploma of Engineering (100 credit points)
• Master of Engineering (150 credit points)
• Master of Engineering Science (200 credit points)
