Postgraduate diplomas are awarded for the successful completion of a course
of advanced study which is aimed at increasing the depth of understanding of
specialisation of a graduate engineer in areas which have previously been
studied as part of the undergraduate training. In order to qualify for a
postgraduate diploma in engineering, a student is required to successfully
complete coursework to the value of 48 credit points (24 credit points for the
Postgraduate Diploma in Materials Engineering). This is entirely coursework,
and a minor thesis does not form part of the postgraduate diploma regulations.
For postgraduate diplomas in engineering, in some cases, credit may be granted
for up to 50% of the total course, on the basis of work of equivalent standard
successfully completed at another institution. In some cases, credit may be
given for up to 25% for work completed at Monash University but which has not
formed part of the work presented for any other degree.
To be eligible for entry to postgraduate diplomas in Biomedical Engineering,
Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering and
Management, Materials Engineering, Transport and Traffic, and Telecommunication
Engineering, normally a candidate will have qualified for a bachelors degree in
a relevant or closely related discipline. Candidates with a four-year (honours)
science or applied science degree may also be admitted to the Postgraduate
Diploma in Materials Engineering and the Postgraduate Diploma in Transport and
Traffic.
