Hey , I asked UNSW about their postgraduate studies but their reply does not really clear my thought.
I saw in their website stating that the duration for postgraduate ( engineering ) is 1 year. However, I am aware that Australia degre is 4 years. However, I got a BEng from UK which is only 3 years. Therefore, Im not sure whether the duration for me would be different or not. Anyone know about this ? Also, I believe UNSW is the best engineering uni in australia. However is it also good for Electrical and electronic field ? Update: I just checked the requirement for master in UNSW Master of Engineering Science A recognised four-year Bachelor degree in an appropriate area of engineering with Honours 2/2 or equivalent or an average of 65% in performance over the final two years. Graduate Certificate of Engineering Science A recognised three-year Bachelor degree in engineering or science with an average of 65% in performance over the final two years. Graduates from a four-year science or engineering Bachelor degree who do not meet the entry requirements for the Master of Engineering Science will also be considered. From what I see here, I will need to take certificate first before going for master if I were to apply using BEng from UK as it is a 3 year program. Can anyone tell me whether i interpreted it correctly ? As a result, a total of 2 year needed if i apply using BEng from UK. God, I can get Msc in UK with only 1 year... Hmm..

QUOTE(TY_AA @ Jan 25 2009, 08:21 PM) Do you have an honours with your UK BEng? If you do I don't think the number of years matter. The 4-year part most likely refer to an Australian BEng degree only. Because from what I know, a BSc in the UK is 2.5 years plus 0.5years honours, totaling 3years whereas an Australian BSc is 3+1, 4 years. But they're regarded as the same. yes it is honour degree. The email reply looks like thisThis is because of the higher standards of A-levels(2years) as compared to Year 12 in Australia(1year) and hence easier first year University in Australia. Do you mind posting the email you receive? Just the content, leave out your name etc if you're not comfortable.  1) Regardless from which universities you are applying your Postgraduate program from, The duration of the Master program (Coursework) will stay the same as stated in the website/prospectus. But he didnt mention whether I need to take any addition units or not. QUOTE(empire23 @ Jan 25 2009, 08:25 PM) Simple answer would be, no, you can't, you're technically not post grad to them and you will have to finish their undergrad studies, progbably 8 to 12 units and attain an Aussie BEng before moving on to an Aussie MEng. So in reality, it'll take you a total of 1 year (2 to 3 sems) + 1.5 years (3 Sems) to attain an Aussie MEng. Omg so it takes 2.5 years to complete the postgraduate in australia ? ... -.- thats crazy .... mmm I do aware that 3 year program will be referred as Technologist but Im not sure whether its referring to their own degree or all the degree out there.Currently using the Engineers Australia grading system you're still technically a Technologist and not a Professional Engineer. Anyone could attest this ? ... izzit really 2.5 years to complete a Master in engineering if apply with BEng (Hons) from UK? |
