Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science builds on the shorter Graduate Certificate with a longer, deeper program for engineers and graduates wanting to expand knowledge in their current specialisation or acquire skills in a new one, while meeting or maintaining professional accreditation standards along the way. The program broadens general engineering knowledge alongside engineering management skills, developing technical analysis and problem-solving ability beyond what a standalone certificate can cover, and functions as a direct pathway into the Master of Engineering Science for students who want to keep progressing. It suits practising engineers who found the Graduate Certificate too short for their needs but aren't yet ready to commit to a full master's degree, giving them a genuine middle option with credit that carries forward if they later decide to continue studying.
