Units indexed by faculty Postgraduate diplomasPostgraduate 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 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. The following postgraduate diplomas are currently offered by the faculty:
