With a Monash qualification, you will be highly regarded all over the world. You will join the ranks of Australia’s largest university - and acquire status as a ‘Group of Eight’ graduate.
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings (2014-2015) places Monash in the top 1% of world universities. Additionally, the Academic Ranking of World Universities (2013) rates Monash as the best university in Australia for engineering.
As published in the New York Times, more than 4500 leaders from the world’s most successful companies are more likely to hire a Monash graduate (Global Employability University Ranking 2011-2013).
NETWORK WITH LIKE-MINDED
GLOBAL LEADERS
At Monash you will be taught by the best - and learn alongside the best.
World-class academics from a range of backgrounds will challenge your knowledge, insights and ideas.
You will study with students in small classes, facilitating a great social and study network and peer support opportunities. Your cohort will also have exclusive access to a dedicated postgraduate lounge in the engineering precinct at Clayton.
But rankings are not the be all and end all. What matters most is your personal learning experience - and the facilities that enhance it. Monash hosts some of Australia’s most superior engineering facilities.
As well as having a campus in Malaysia, Monash is the first Australian university to receive a licence to operate in China, at Suzhou with the Southeast University (SEU) – one of China’s key national universities. The SEU-Monash partnership consists of the Joint Graduate School and Joint Research Institute. Another exciting partnership exists between the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) and Monash University. The IITB Monash Research Academy located in Mumbai focuses on providing innovative research outcomes for industries in India and Australia
“ The postgraduate lounge
is important to me as it
gives me the chance to
meet socially with my
classmates, as well as
providing a space for us
to work through technical
problems together”

leadership and complex problem-solving
skills in a cross cultural environment.
You will explore your discipline on an advanced level and learn how to apply your new knowledge to real problems. Your studies will also focus on engineering leadership to strengthen your critical reasoning and strategic thinking skills.
You will further develop your transferable skills such as communication, data analysis, problem solving and time management.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
If you are an international applicant, you must also meet one of the following English language requirements:
Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering (Infrastructure Systems) Civil Engineering (Transport) Civil Engineering (Water) Electrical Engineering Energy and Sustainability ^ Materials Engineering Mechanical Engineering
You will develop up-to-the-minute knowledge relevant to chemical engineers across a range of industry and research areas including advanced reaction engineering, process design and optimisation, conversion of bio-resources into fuel, materials and specialty chemicals and nano-structured membranes for sustainable separations and energy production.
This program will equip you with advanced skills necessary for managing leading designs of new complex infrastructure systems. It also provides the fundamental knowledge associated with interfacing both structural and geotechnical designs for infrastructure systems.
Today’s society increasingly demands engineers with advanced transport expertise. With a focus on state-of-the-art engineering solutions, you will investigate the significance and impact of transport from a technological, economic and social perspective. Areas of study include transport engineering and management, traffic engineering, intelligent transport systems and transport planning.
This program will equip you with advanced skills for managing the challenges of changing climatic conditions on water resource management. Areas of study include surface and ground water flow, stormwater management, water quality and flood forecasting and mitigation.
You will explore advanced techniques in signal processing, communications, digital systems and electronics. Units focus on the common theme of
embedded systems - special purpose computing systems designed for specific applications. Embedded systems are found just about everywhere, including consumer electronics, transport, medical equipment and sensor networks. Provides foundations in general engineering through engineering analysis and entrepreneurship units. You will examine energy and sustainability from a multi-disciplinary perspective and can choose elective units such as environment, air pollution control and smart grids to further enhance your knowledge in this area. With a focus on the latest developments in materials engineering, this course explores the role of materials in the design and construction of engineering structures from a technical, economic and environmental perspective; the practical aspects of key material classes such as metals, polymers, biomaterials, nanomaterials and energy-related materials as well as the electronic, chemical and mechanical properties of materials through modern characterisation techniques.
This program takes a systems approach to the design, monitoring and performance of complex mechanical engineering systems in the fields of renewable energy, aerospace, buildings, transportation and biomedical devices. The systems approach also permeates the design of the course. Four discipline-based core units are integrated so that common problems are examined from different perspectives, culminating in a sustainable systems unit.
