The Master of Engineering Science/Master of Commerce double degree is ideal for you if you are an early or mid-career professional seeking to advance your career.

The Master of Commerce is innovative, industry-relevant and incorporates the latest thinking in business. The Master of Engineering Science is designed for engineers and graduates wishing to develop and expand their knowledge and skills in their current area of expertise. This will enable you to meet or maintain professional accreditation standards and to provide opportunities for continuing professional development, as well as the opportunity to interact with those at the cutting edge of their discipline. Both components allow you to specialise, choosing from a range of disciplines, to pursue your career ambitions.

This program allows you to graduate with both Masters after three years, with students with advanced standing able to complete their studies up to a year and a half sooner.

You may be eligible for up to 72 Units of Credit depending on your background:

For the Commerce component, up to 24 Units of Credit may be awarded based on your previous Business studies (at Bachelor level or higher).

For the Engineering Science component, up to 48 Units of Credit may be awarded:

If you have a four year engineering degree in a cognate area that includes a final year capstone design or research project and a project management course you will be given 24 Units of Credit
