This course caters for students with a bachelor's degree in a non-engineering area of study (e.g. a Bachelor of Science), and is designed to enable students to move into the professionally accredited Master of Professional Engineering on completion. This is a non-award course which ranges from approximately one semester to 1.5 years (3 semesters) of full-time study, depending on prior study. On successful completion studies, students may receive a conditional offer for the Master of Professional Engineering. A student who has completed some studies in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or Computing to an appropriate level within their undergraduate bachelor's degree may be eligible to have these studies recognized, reducing the length of their course. A non-award course is a program of study which does not lead to a formal award. It may comprise a unit or units of study from an award course and may be counted as credit towards an award course in some cases.
