Aim

This program provides graduates in information technology oriented engineering disciplines with an advanced understanding of the current practice and technology in one of the following streams:

Entry requirements

Applicants would normally have completed a degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent qualification. Entry is competitive and experience in engineering and information technology and completion of professional qualifications will be taken into account.

For international applicants for whom English is a second language, the minimum English language requirements are:

International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic): Minimum score of 6.0 in Reading and Writing subscores and minimum overall score of 6.0 obtained within the last two years or corresponding results from an equivalent test such as TOEFL or the appropriate Academic English language level delivered at CELUSA; or
Successful completion of a tertiary qualification at diploma level or above completed in Australia within the last two years; or
Successful completion of two or more years of tertiary study at diploma level or above conducted and completed in English within the last five years in a country in which:

Where the study in English was more than five years ago, this requirement may be satisfied by subsequent and recent work experience of two or more years duration in a setting where English is the language of business subject to satisfactory evidence as determined by the Program Director.

Content/structure

Students are required to complete a total of 54 units of study to be eligible for the degree. The 54 units of study may consist of either 7 courses (31.5 units), Engineering Research Practice (4.5 units) and Engineering Minor Thesis 1 and 2 (18 units), or 12 courses (54 units).

Rules

Credit to a maximum of 18 units may be given to students who have completed a four year undergraduate degree with honours in information technology, engineering or other relevant discipline, subject to the approval of the Program Director.

Notes

  1. Where a course is substantially equivalent to a course taken in gaining another award, then an alternative course must be chosen, in consultation with the program director.
  2. Students must complete courses to the value of 27 units from a nominated stream in order to graduate with a stream specialisation.
  3. A maximum of 2 courses may be taken from Group B courses in Schedule A in the Telecommunications stream.
  4. Courses not listed in Schedule A may also be undertaken, with the approval of the Program Director.
  5. Course work courses must form a coherent discipline stream subject to the approval of the Program Director.
  6. Engineering Research Practice is a compulsory course for students who will undertake Engineering Minor Thesis 1 & 2.  Students not undertaking the Engineering Minor Thesis 1 & 2 may choose any course listed in Schedule A in any stream.  Eligible students for the Engineering Minor Thesis will be identified and notified after the first study period by the Program Director of the particular stream.  Subject to the approval of the Program Director, students will normally be eligible to enrol in Minor Thesis 1 and Minor Thesis 2 subject to achieving a Grade Point Average of 5.5.
  7. The Graduate Diploma in Professional Practice (Telecommunications) provides a pathway for subsequent entry to this program and both awards can be completed in two years of full time study or part time equivalent.
