Aim

The program is designed to provide continuing education for graduate students relevant to their specific professional interests.

Entry requirements

Applicants would normally have completed a degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent qualification.  Normally, this qualification will be an engineering degree.

International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic): Minimum score of 6.0 in Reading and Writing subscores and minimum overall score of 6.0 obtained within the last two years or corresponding results from an equivalent test such as TOEFL or the appropriate Academic English language level delivered at CELUSA; or
Successful completion of a tertiary qualification at diploma level or above completed in Australia within the last two years; or
Successful completion of two or more years of tertiary study at diploma level or above conducted and completed in English within the last five years in a country in which:

• English is an official language; or
• English is commonly used, as determined by the University.

Where the study in English was more than five years ago, this requirement may be satisfied by subsequent and recent work experience of two or more years duration in a setting where English is the language of business subject to satisfactory evidence as determined by the Program Director.

Content/structure

The Graduate Certificate requires the completion of appropriate courses totalling 18 units of which at least 9 units must be from core courses in a particular engineering discipline area. Some graduate certificates have restrictions on the selections of non-core courses and applicants are referred to the school most appropriate to their academic background and professional interests in order to choose a particular program of study.

ADDITIONAL COURSES

Individual programs of study to satisfy the overall program requirements of 18 units may be constructed by choice of electives comprising no more than 9 units. Such electives shall be drawn mainly from within existing graduate diploma or graduate certificate programs and shall be approved by the Program Director.
