Disciplines

Typical Duration

All programs are available on a full-time or part-time basis. The part-time mode will usually require students to enrol in a minimum of 6 UoC per semester over three consecutive semesters.

	MEngScExt	2 years full-time / 4-6 years part-time
	MEngSc	1.5 years full-time / 3-5 years part-time
	GradDipEngSc	1.5 years full-time / 3-5 years part-time
	GradCertEngSc	1 year full-time / 2-3 years part-time

The list of courses on offer can change from year to year. For the current listing, please refer to the School's Postgraduate Course Timetables.

The above duration times include the Professional Development courses (one semester of study). Applicants may be exempted or given advanced standing for up to 24 Units of Professional Development courses and therefore reduce the duration of their program by 6 months, undertaking a standard program.

Rules
