Course Overview

About This Course

The Master of Engineering (course code MC-ENG) was the umbrella professional engineering program, a three-year full-time (300-point) course offered across seventeen specialisations: Biomedical, Biomedical with Business, Biochemical, Chemical, Chemical with Business, Civil, Civil with Business, Electrical, Electrical with Business, Environmental, Mechanical, Mechanical with Business, Mechanical with Aerospace, Mechatronics, Software, Software with Business, Spatial and Structural. This course is discontinued and no longer available for admissions; it has been superseded by individually named degrees for each specialisation (e.g. Master of Civil Engineering, Master of Electrical Engineering, Master of Mechanical Engineering), which are the current course offerings on study.unimelb.edu.au. This content is sourced from the 2026 University Handbook, which retains the discontinued entry for historical reference.
