Master of Engineering – Applied Research in Civil: Structural

Academic Qualification Requirements Pathway A: 3-Year Bachelor Degree Degree duration: Minimum 3 years (AQF7 equivalent or recognized international equivalent) Academic performance: WAM ≥ 75%, OR GPA ≥ 3.0 / 4.0 Discipline: Relevant engineering or closely related field Pathway B: 4-Year Bachelor Degree Degree duration: Minimum 4 years (AQF8 equivalent or recognized international equivalent), including both Washington Accord and non-WA degrees. Academic performance: WAM ≥ 65%, OR GPA ≥ 2.0 / 4.0 Discipline: Relevant engineering or closely related field Pathway C: Master’s Degree (Coursework) Qualification: Master’s degree by coursework (AQF9 or equivalent) in engineering or a closely related field. Academic performance: Pass overall (minimum institutional requirement) Research Component Requirement Applicants must demonstrate prior exposure to structured research equivalent to: ≥10% of the overall program, OR ≥25% of the final year This requirement will not be waived. A research component is only considered sufficient where it includes: Defined problem or research questions Use of methodology (analytical, experimental, simulation or design based) Evidence of analysis and evaluation Documented outcome in a written report Where a formal thesis is not preset, applicants must provide evidence through: Unit outlines or course handbook Project or technical reports Supplementary portfolio Generic transcript entries such as “Project”, “Practical”, or “Training” must not be assumed to meet the requirement without supporting documentation. Evidence required for Supplementary Portfolio Applicants who do not meet the formal research component requirement may be considered via a supplementary portfolio demonstrating equivalent research capability. Applicants must provide at least 1 – 2 substantial pieces of evidence. Each submission must demonstrate: Problem definition Methodology or approach Analytical component (e.g. calculations, modelling, evaluation) Results and conclusions Written documentation Acceptable evidence includes: Final-year or capstone project reports Technical research or investigation reports Engineering design projects with analytical depth Simulation/modelling studies with documented methodology Industry-based technical reports (e.g. feasibility studies, root cause analysis) The following are not sufficient on their own: CVs or resumes Internship certificates Project titles without supporting documentation Software usage without explanation of methodology Descriptive work without analysis Industry experience will only be considered where supported by documented technical outputs demonstrating structured inquiry. Where the quality of evidence is unclear, applications must be referred to the Academic Team prior to any admission decision. AND An appropriate level of English Language Proficiency equivalent to an English pass level in an Australian Senior Certificate of Education, or an IELTS score of 6.0 (with no individual band less than 6.0), or equivalent as outlined in the EIT Admissions Policy. Please note: Meeting the minimum admission criteria does not guarantee entry to our programs. Applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
