If you are a mechanical engineer looking to fast-track your career, the Master of Professional Engineering (Mechanical) will help you develop management expertise, specialize and deepen your technical skills and be equipped to lead projects and move into more senior roles.

The program offers three unique pathways:

For accredited engineers looking to advance their skills: We offer a 1-year program for graduates of a University of Newcastle Bachelor of Engineering (Honors) degree, or equivalent. You can advance your skills at postgraduate level.

For engineers seeking recognition in Australia: We offer a 2-year program for international students seeking professional recognition from Engineers Australia and the Washington Accord, or those looking to extend their engineering and professional expertise in an Australian context.

For other STEM graduates looking to make a career change: We offer a 3-year program for students whose undergraduate degree is NOT in engineering, but in a related STEM area. This program will qualify you as an engineer, professionally recognized by Engineers Australia.

What you will study

The Master of Professional Engineering (Mechanical) is a flexible degree that will allow you to advance your career in engineering. You will have the opportunity to diversify your engineering expertise with courses in mechanical or another area of engineering or broaden your skills base in a complimentary area such as business and management, entrepreneurship and innovation, design or multimedia. Plus, you can choose a major project that’s linked to industry or focused on design and research.

Career opportunities

Engineers work on a huge range of tasks in many different environments – industries like electronics, energy, food, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, construction, environmental health and transportation. Engineering continues to be one of the most in-demand qualifications in the world, with many countries desperate to fill a shortage of professional skills in this field.

A Master of Professional Engineering will open up even more varied career opportunities, empowering you to take on a leadership role, start your own business or manage major engineering projects.
