120-point Master of EngineeringApplicants who have previously completed a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) or a Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering can apply for the 120-point Master of Engineering.
Students in this pathway will focus on academic research, closely working with one of AUT's well-established research centres. An academic supervisor will be appointed to guide and direct you for the duration of the thesis.
Applicants admitted on the basis of a postgraduate diploma or honours degree who have completed a Research Methods Course may be able to enrol directly into the thesis.
Applicants with a three-year engineering degree will be enrolled in the 180-point Master of Engineering.
Students in this pathway will focus on academic research, closely working with one of AUT's well-established research centres. An academic supervisor will be appointed to guide and direct you for the duration of the thesis.
