Master of Engineering Practice
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Master of Engineering Practice extends existing engineering knowledge, with specialisation in one of three emerging engineering areas preparing graduates for careers across a range of industries. The course includes more than 300 hours of practical experience through an integrated professional practice unit, building a professional portfolio, and is taught by industry practitioners. Students can tailor the degree to graduate on a compressed timeframe, and can extend their studies further with an Engineering Design or Engineering Research minor, the latter of which can lead into a research career. Most engineering disciplines are on Australia's skilled occupation lists; the standard pre-invitation pathway is an Engineers Australia skills assessment plus a year of work experience on the 485 post-study work visa. The program is delivered by Murdoch University in Western Australia.
