Master of Maintenance and Reliability Engineering

Course code: 2319 + Course abbreviation: MMaintReliabEng + Total credit points required: 48 + 2--3 years part-time

Study mode and course location

Off-campus (Gippsland)

Course description

This course will be of greatest benefit to graduate engineers who are involved with the operation and maintenance of industrial, public sector or defence systems.

Each six-point full-year unit requires about four hours of study per week. Students are required to attend one four-day residential school in each year (maximum of two).

Entry requirements

Admission to the Master of Maintenance and Reliability Engineering requires (a) a university honours degree in engineering; or (b) in circumstances considered special by the faculty board, a university pass degree in engineering; or (c) a university pass degree plus honours-equivalent experience appropriate to the field of study; or (d) completion of the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Maintenance Management with an average not less than 65%.

Course structure

The degree comprises 48 points of coursework. Depending on the manner of entry to the program, the first two years of part-time study cover coursework required for one or other of the graduate certificates in maintenance management or reliability engineering and/or the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Maintenance Management. This enables articulation from the graduate certificates or graduate diploma to the masters program, for those who have performed at the requisite standard, while providing alternative pathways for those who perform less well.( If entered by articulation, students would need to complete 72 points in total to complete the masters degree.)
