About this program

The Master of Engineering (Advanced) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is designed for engineering professionals and graduates seeking to enhance their technical expertise and leadership skills in a rapidly evolving sector. Delivered across two years of full-time study in the heart of Sydney, the programme offers opportunities to specialise in a range of engineering disciplines, allowing students to develop knowledge at the cutting edge of their field alongside vital skills in innovation, problem-solving, and project management.

This advanced qualification is structured around a combination of core and elective units of study, with most units carrying a set number of credit points. The curriculum is designed to foster a strong theoretical foundation while providing opportunities for hands-on learning through laboratory work and case studies relevant to Australian industry. UTS maintains close links with major Australian engineering companies and research organisations, and this programme includes elements of work-integrated learning or professional placement when available, ensuring students gain real-world experience during their studies.

Students deepen their expertise by undertaking elective study aligned with their professional interests and cap off the degree with a significant capstone project or research thesis, where critical thinking, research capabilities, and advanced engineering solutions are developed. This approach equips graduates with the confidence and experience to tackle complex engineering challenges in diverse sectors.

The Master of Engineering (Advanced) at UTS is well suited to engineering graduates and working professionals eager to expand their technical skills or those seeking a pathway to senior roles in engineering industries. International students pursuing this degree may qualify for temporary graduate work rights in Australia, and all enrolled students are able to work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying.
