Graduate Diploma
The Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering Management (PGDipEM) combines your engineering knowledge with business and leadership skills by giving you real-world experiences and connections with industry.
You must have either a Bachelor of Engineering Technology, a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours, a Bachelor of Science with Honours, or other qualifications of an equivalent standard, and have a GPA of at least 3 in your 300-level and higher courses. You can also apply for admission to the MEM based on previous studies and work experience, with approval.
You will need to have completed both the academic and non-academic requirements of your previous degree. This may include practical work days, work reports, a workshop training course, and a first aid certificate.
If English is your additional language, you are also required to produce evidence of your English language ability with an IELTS (Academic) score of 7.0, with no individual score below 6.5; or other evidence acceptable to the College of Engineering Dean (Postgraduate).
For the full entry requirements, see the Regulations for the Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering Management or use the admission requirements checker.
You may choose to transfer your completed courses in the Diploma to the Master of Engineering Management programme. The MEM includes some additional compulsory and elective courses. You can apply to the MEM after you have passed your compulsory courses in the Diploma.
