About this program

The Master of Engineering (Extension) at the University of Technology Sydney is designed for students seeking advanced, comprehensive education in engineering—whether to deepen their technical expertise or to pivot into a new specialisation within the field. Spanning two years of full-time study, the programme offers an extended curriculum with additional specialist units compared to standard master's degrees, allowing for greater flexibility and depth of learning.

The course structure typically comprises a series of units of study that add up to the required credit points for course completion. Students can select from a range of engineering disciplines, enabling customisation of their learning experience. The curriculum is informed by industry standards and frequently includes a combination of advanced core subjects, technical electives, project-based learning, and the opportunity to engage in a capstone project or extended professional practice unit. Many students also benefit from work-integrated learning experiences, taking advantage of UTS’s close links with industry partners in Sydney and beyond.

The programme equips graduates with advanced skills in problem-solving, project management, innovation, and communication. It is suitable for those with an undergraduate background in engineering who wish to progress to more senior roles or specialise in emerging technologies. The syllabus is aligned with the evolving needs of Australian and international industry, with learning outcomes designed to meet the requirements of professional engineering bodies where applicable.

International students should note that UTS is a public higher education provider, and English language proficiency must be demonstrated through an accepted test such as IELTS, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1, or a UTS English programme. While studying, international students are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible for the post-study Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), subject to governmental conditions.
