工程学硕士课程可作为两年制研究生入学课程（适用于相关领域三年制工程学士（荣誉）课程的学生）或三年制研究生入学课程（针对具有工程学或其他相关研究的认可学位的学生-例如，具有适当化学研究的理科学士学位）。工程学硕士课程为学生提供了在一系列专业领域之一中提高其工程知识和技能的能力，并通过以实践为中心的高级技术课程，体验式学习经验和研究项目来证明他们的学习。三年制课程包括基础课程，可让没有该领域背景的学生补习必要的内容。3年制课程可能会获得一些基础内容的荣誉，从而缩短了学习时间。
The Master of Engineering can be taken as a two-year graduate entry program (for students with the equivalent of a 3-year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program in a relevant field); or as a three-year graduate entry program (for students with an approved degree in engineering or other relevant studies - for example, a Bachelor of Science with appropriate studies in chemistry). The Master of Engineering provides students with the ability to advance their engineering knowledge and skills in one of a range of specialised fields and demonstrate their learning through practice-focused and advanced technical courses, experiential learning experiences, and research projects. The 3-year program includes foundational courses that allow students who do not have a background in the field to make up the necessary content. Credit towards some of the foundational content may be possible for the 3-year program, thereby reducing the duration.
