Postgraduate study: 4+1

An engineering honours degree and a master’s in five years? At RMIT? Yes, you can!

Once you’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at RMIT you may be eligible to complete a Master by Coursework degree in your related area in only one year of further study.

Our master’s degrees are usually two years, but with advanced standing you may get  exemptions up to 96 credit points, the equivalent to two semesters of full-time study. 

Graduating with both a Bachelor (Honours) and a Master of Engineering will start your career with advanced qualifications and deeper technical expertise.
