Master of Engineering + Master of Information Technology (ME+MIT)

Overview

The ME+MIT course is intended for professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills in both Engineering and IT. This course addresses the needs of engineers and information technology experts in a changing environment to understand and capture the requirements and needs of each other. Increasingly, companies are looking for engineers with a better understanding of IT aspects and, on the other hand, they prefer IT experts with a knowledge of engineering, resulting in a performance improvement and service enhancement.

Admission Requirements

Special Requirements

Some units in this course are offered in a flexible delivery mode, allowing candidates to complete some of their studies at home or at their workplace. For some units, some attendance at on- and off-campus site visits and technology operation sessions will be a requirement. The coursework assumes a prior understanding of the relevant fundamentals for the disciplines in Engineering and Information Technology to a level allowing entry into the course. Consequently, students entering the course must have passed the relevant units for gaining the required knowledge for the course at Murdoch or their equivalent elsewhere. The adequacy of background knowledge by applicants is judged by the Academic Chair or their designate.

Entry Requirements (Onshore)

Entry may be gained through any of three means:

• Recognised Engineering (AQF Level 7) in the specific disciplinary area of the major and evidence of an appropriate level of skills and knowledge in statistical analysis,
• Evidence of an appropriate level of industrial experience and possession of a Bachelor's degree (AQF Level 7) in a technical, non-engineering area as judged adequate by the Academic Chair or their designate and evidence of an appropriate level of skills and knowledge in statistical analysis,
• Applicants without the necessary qualifications and/or background may be admitted with the caveat that they will be required to pass additional units as part of the course requirements, as judged by the Course Coordinator or their designate. This entry option may increase the required duration to complete the degree. To gain entry by either means 2 or 3, the applicant should provide educational and industrial experience details by a Curriculum Vitae, tertiary education transcripts, and a personal statement of no more than 300 words detailing why this course has been selected and how any extra-curricular experience has prepared the applicant to complete the course.

English Language Requirements

Equivalent of an Academic IELTS overall score of 6.0 with no band less than 6.0.

Learning Outcomes
