Recognition
The Master of Engineering is accredited by Engineers Australia. The Master of Engineering (Spatial), (Biomedical with Business), (Electrical with Business) and (Software with Business) is provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia until sufficient students have graduated from the program. Changes to accreditation status will be backdated, enabling graduates to receive full accreditation when it is granted. The Master of Engineering is accredited by EUR-ACE, apart from the Master of Engineering (Software) and Master of Engineering (Software with Business), which are accredited by Euro-Inf and the Australian Computer Society (ACS). The Master of Engineering (Materials) is a new course launched in 2018. The Melbourne School of Engineering is seeking provisional accreditation for this course through Engineers Australia. The Melbourne School of Engineering has not yet sought accreditation with EUR-ACE. The Master of Engineering (Biochemical) and (Chemical) is accredited with IChemE.
Study pathways
Students who have completed the corresponding Engineering Systems major in the Bachelor of Biomedicine, Design or Science from the University of Melbourne will be eligible for one year advanced standing. Students with other undergraduate backgrounds that include engineering may also receive partial credit towards their program. School leavers applying for the bachelors of Biomedicine, Commerce, Design or Science at the University of Melbourne can secure a place in the Master of Engineering at the same time through the Graduate Degree Packages program, subject to meeting entry requirements.
