STUDENT TESTImONIAL“With several years of work experience in prosthetics

and orthotics, the next step for me was to gain some additional engineering knowledge through the Master of Biomedical Engineering at UNSW. Engineering knowledge, especially in areas such as biomechanics, implantable bionics, and mechanical properties of biomaterials, will equip me with a good understanding of how to improve the designs and function of the prosthetic and orthotic devices that I will be working on when I return to Namibia.”

STUDENT TESTImONIAL“The Master of Engineering Science degree

at UNSW was very flexible. The content was taught in a series of one week short courses with assignments interspersed during the semester. This suited my work and my lifestyle very well since at that time I was on a FIFO roster and hence unable to attend university in person on a regular basis. The odd course which featured lectures every week was also offered online. As such, I was able to watch video recordings of the lectures at remote mine sites and not miss any of the content.”

The School of Computer Science and Engineering at UNSW Australia is one of the largest computer engineering schools and finest of its kind in Australasia. We offer fantastic opportunities for postgraduate study through our Master of Information Technology, plus shorter programs for those who want something a bit lighter or don’t have the qualifications necessary to apply for a Masters. Postgraduate education in IT is a smart way to specialise in a particular area – the only complexity is deciding exactly where you want to direct your career.

Getting ahead in the competitive field of mechanical engineering sometimes means you need to stand out from the crowd. If you are looking to boost your career prospects, a postgraduate coursework program is an ideal way to upgrade your qualifications and deepen your knowledge of the field.

We offer two Masters programs in Mechanical Engineering at UNSW. The program you choose depends on your background, qualifications and what you want to achieve. We also offer a Graduate Diploma which is a shorter program and a great step up into the Master of Engineering Science.

Nuclear engineering continues to be a growing field. In addition to the increasing ‘new build’ proposals in the western world, there is an existing set of reactors that require maintenance, servicing, operation and eventual decommissioning. There is waste to be managed and a fuel cycle that requires servicing and handling. All this requires engineers with an understanding of the unique environment of a nuclear site. There is an ageing workforce in the sector thus a strong need for a new generation of nuclear-conversant engineers, and developing nuclear engineering skills is a fantastic opportunity for engineering graduates.

exceeded expectations that I had of UNSW. It is a valuable course which is delivered primarily by practising experts in nuclear engineering. My project work with ANSTO on control rod vibrations is providing me with practical experience of the issues that nuclear reactor operators face.

STUDENT TESTImONIAL“The strengths of the Master of Engineering Science

program were that it focused on a wide range of topics relevant to the project management discipline, as well as closely tying them to practices that occur in my workplace. I found the course material very relevant to my day-to-day work life. I know it seems obvious, but if you genuinely enjoy the coursework it makes it much more compelling to sit down and study.”

“I would advise prospective transport engineers to focus not just on their analytical skills, but also on how those skills tie into real world applications. For transport, we deal with humans, not electrons or information packets, and humans have psychology and individual behaviour. So you really have to get a wide range of skills, from engineering principles, to physics, economics, and human psychology. Transport engineering is about synthesising and bringing together all of these interdisciplinary concepts into one field.”
