The Master of Professional Engineering (Accelerated) is the ideal two-year full-time degree for those engineers who have previously graduated with an undergraduate engineering degree in a related field seeking recognised accreditation to practice in Australia and overseas.
Please note that the degree to be conferred will be the Master of Professional Engineering.
In the last decade, we have seen the surge of intelligence being used in information engineering for a wide range of domains, such as smart city, advanced manufacturing, automatic driving, 5G and Internet of things, virtual reality and augmented reality, etc.
The major in intelligent information engineering builds on foundations in mathematics, electrical engineering and basic computer and software engineering principles, and focuses on teaching students the latest technologies in information engineering such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), video and speech recognition, multimedia and sensory signal processing.
This major aims to offer a comprehensive program with state-of-the-art intelligent information engineering technologies.
The courses offered span three key areas: telecommunication, electrical and electronic engineering, and computer and software engineering, with an emphasis on intelligent information processing technologies.
Candidates for the Master of Professional Engineering (Accelerated) (Intelligent Information Engineering) complete 96 credit points.
This course has a mandatory work component totalling 420 hours that must be completed as part of the award requirements for the degree. This will usually be undertaken over 12 weeks and will provide an opportunity to gain industry exposure within an engineering environment.
To be eligible for admission, an applicant is required to have:
- an Australian Bachelor of Engineering degree with a 68.5 percent average, or equivalent qualification, in a related field of engineering to which the student is applying.
For qualifications awarded outside Australia, equivalencies and entry requirements are determined based on the country, institution and qualification.
Graduate students will be equipped with knowledge of advanced technologies, such as AI, deep learning, information/signal processing and embedded systems, hence be capable to pursue the career in a wide range of engineering domains, as well as IT companies like Google and Facebook, who are eagerly looking for talents in such areas.
Indicative Postgraduate Student Contribution Amount
The student contribution amount for a Commonwealth Supported Place is an indication only of the amount payable in Year 1 for a standard full time load of 48 credit points (1.0 EFTSL). The exact student contribution that you pay will depend on the calendar year in which you undertake your study, and the specific units of study in which you ultimately enrol. For further information about how to calculate your specific total student contribution, please refer to the University's Tuition Fees website.
Annual review and fee increases
Importantly, student contribution amounts are subject to annual review by the University, and will increase each year of your period of study (subject to a Commonwealth specified cap), effective at the start of each calendar year.
Indicative Postgraduate Domestic Tuition Fee
The tuition fee for a domestic postgraduate student is an indication only of the fees payable in Year 1 for a standard full time load of 48 credit points (1.0 EFTSL). Depending on the calendar year in which you undertake your study, and if your study load is more or less than the 1.0 EFTSL, your tuition fee will differ from the indicative amount.
Annual review and fee increase
Importantly, tuition fees are subject to annual review by the University, and will increase each year of your period of study, effective at the start of each calendar year.
Additional incidental costs
For some courses there are incidental costs additional to the student contribution and/or course fee. Some of these incidental costs are significant, for example, course-specific materials, tools, protected clothing and equipment. Further information about these costs is available from https://sydney.edu.au/students/materials-and-equipment.html.
Visa/MasterCard/American Express/JCB surcharge
Please note that a surcharge of 1.53% will apply for payments made by Visa, MasterCard, American Express or JCB. The surcharge is subject to review and may change. Information about payment methods and the surcharge is set out at: http://sydney.edu.au/study/finances-fees-costs/fees-and-loans/paying-your-fees.html.
Potential for inaccuracy
Whilst every reasonable effort has been made to include correct and up to date information here, you are also advised to consult directly with the Student Centre so that they can provide you with specific and up to date information about fees.
Indicative International Tuition Fees for Postgraduate Students
The tuition fee for international postgraduate students is an indication only of the fees payable in Year 1 for a standard full time load of 48 credit points (1.0 EFTSL). Depending on the calendar year in which you undertake your study, and if your study load is more or less than the 1.0 EFTSL, your tuition fee will differ from the indicative amount.
Annual review and fee increases
Importantly, tuition fees are subject to annual review, and will increase each year of your period of study, effective at the start of each calendar year.
Additional incidental costs and health insurance
For some courses there are incidental costs additional to the tuition fees. Some of these incidental costs are significant, for example, course-specific materials, tools, protective clothing, and equipment. Further information about these costs is available from https://sydney.edu.au/students/materials-and-equipment.html. In addition to the fees indicated here for the course of study, International Students studying on an Australian Student Visa must have appropriate health insurance for the duration of their studies on a Student Visa through a government approved provider of the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) scheme. This is a requirement of the Australian Government, unless otherwise exempted by the Government.
