Comments about Master of Engineering (International Students) - On Campus - Geelong - Victoria

  • Objectives
    Deakin University's postgraduate Engineering program has been designed to strengthen, build on and extend students' understanding of engineering principles required for successful engineering careers in Australia and overseas. Students will gain technical skills, a positive approach to problem solving and the ability to work as a team to enable them to start work on complex projects immediately. Students can chose from six specialisms in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or Civil Engineering. The six specialisms all provide students with expertise in areas of high demand for graduates. The program's focus on practical experience and a supervised research project or industry project provides students with advanced project management skills. This experience equips graduates with the ability to apply their skills and knowledge to practical, industrially focussed problems. The Master of Engineering can be undertaken as a stand-alone or exit qualification from the Master of Engineering (Professional) program.
  • Entry requirements
    Entry to the Master of Engineering requires a four-year Bachelor of Engineering degree or equivalent.
  • Academic title
    Master of Engineering (International Students)
  • Course description
    Fees and charges
    Fee paying place - International (IFP)
    A Fee paying place is one for which the university does not receive any government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute the full cost of their course.

    Fees for international students apply to persons living in Australia with Temporary Resident status, provided that there is no limitation on study and persons living abroad who are not Australian citizens and do not have Permanent Resident status in Australia.

    Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
    EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is the standard full time load for one year of study.

    * The 'indicative annual course fee' cited has been provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2009, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking a full-time quota of units within the specified discipline.
    The actual fees charged by Deakin University will depend upon the discipline from which each individual unit is chosen, and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2009 can be viewed at  http://www.deakin.edu.au/current-students/handbooks2009/search.php.
    Please note that the fees per unit/credit point may increase annually due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
    Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on 'indicative course fees' to calculate the total future cost of their course.
