The Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science is a 36-unit program offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
While the award can be taken stand-alone, it is also designed as a pathway to the University's Master of Engineering awards to facilitate entry to these by graduates without an engineering degree.
The admissions requirements for the award are one of the following:
A knowledge of mathematics (equivalent to first-year university mathematics) and science (equivalent to a university undergraduate topic in physics) is assumed. Some basic knowledge of other relevant sciences will be assumed. Some majors have additional assumed knowledge as follows:
The Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science is not available to graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering in the same discipline as their intended masters award. These students should instead apply for a Masters of Engineering degree directly.
The course has been designed to provide graduates with:
The course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
On completion of the award, students will be able to:
