Master of Engineering Studies

The MEngSt allows students with academic engineering backgrounds to expand their existing theoretical and practical skills. It is flexible - you can study either full-time or part-time, undertake either a primarily coursework or research-focused programme, and choose from sixteen distinct specialisations. This programme ultimately requires an in-depth exploration of your chosen topic. You will demonstrate the high-quality critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are sought-after by employers worldwide. The MEngSt is also a foundation for further study.

Taught study

This programme is offered in two options, to suit the existing qualifications and experience of candidates.

• 120 points for candidates with a four-year bachelors (honours) degree

Your programme structure will vary depending on your chosen specialisation. Some specialisations have specific requirements to meet, while others will offer some flexibility and a chance to select your courses tailored to your interests.

Research study

In addition to their taught pathways, the Master of Engineering Studies offers a research pathway in two specialisations:

• 120-points and 180-points Food Engineering
• 120-points and 180-points Sustainable Resource Recovery

You will complete a 90-point Research Portfolio alongside 30 points of taught courses for the 120-point research programme and 90 points of taught courses for the 180-point research programme.
