Engineering and Engineering - E6003

The Accelerated Master’s Pathway awards you both a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and a Master of Engineering in just 4.5 years – equipping you with the skills, experience and time to launch your dream career.

With the perfect blend of practical and theoretical learning, you’ll explore your passions and build real-world skills through hands-on experiences, work placements and industry connections. Starting with a fully accredited Bachelor’s degree, you’ll have the flexibility to tailor your studies and drive your future career path.

The Master’s program takes your knowledge even further, developing your expertise, leadership abilities and problem-solving skills. Whether you want to deepen your Bachelor’s specialisation – or explore new areas like Renewable energy or Artificial Intelligence – you’ll be ready to create innovative, sustainable solutions that enrich your community and your career.

A weighted average mark of 60% must be attained by the end of level 2, to use four Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) electives in 3rd and 4th year to take units from your chosen master’s. You will graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) as a fully qualified engineer after 4 years, and will be able to cross credit the master’s units towards your destination master’s course.

Successful completion of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a minimum 65% average will enable direct entry to the Master of Engineering with only one semester (24 credit points) of study to complete.

The Accelerated Masters Pathway option is available for the following specialisations: Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer Systems, Environmental, Materials, Mechanical or Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering.*

Your degree will kick off with the common first year which introduces you to engineering and its disciplines, informing your choice of future studies and career.

Monash Engineering is known for its integration of practical and theoretical learning. The Career Ready Series or competitive entry programs like the Engineering Co-operative Education Program, or Monash Industry Innovation Program can give you the chance to meet engineers in industry, be job ready and start building your professional networks.

This course requires students to complete a total of 420 hours of continuous professional development, in order to graduate. This professional development may be in the form of 12 weeks of relevant vacation employment or an equivalent combination of approved professional development and/or engineering employment, taken throughout the duration of the course. Students are required to submit a series of reflections on their experience, with particular reference to development of each of the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies.

*Please note the Biomedical Engineering and Software Engineering Specialisations are not available in the Masters Accelerated Pathway program.

Entry Requirements

Entry Requirements (International students)

You need to satisfy all of the following requirements to be considered for entry into this course.

At the time of enrolment in a course at Monash University, you must be at least 17 years of age.

View all minimum age requirements.

All Monash undergraduate courses require you to have successfully completed a minimum of an Australian Year 12 qualification (or equivalent) and achieve the required academic entry score. Most Monash faculties generally use your most recent studies for admission however other guidelines may apply where your prior qualification may be considered.

Entry requirements for each qualification level are as follows:

All Monash undergraduate courses require you to satisfy English entry requirements in one of the following ways:

If your English test does not meet the above scores you may want to consider Monash English. Some Monash courses however do not accept Monash English.

The English measures outlined above must be completed within 3 years prior to the Monash course commencement date (other time limitations may apply as outlined in the Admission to Coursework Courses and Units Procedure). If you have completed several measures of English proficiency over a period of time, the highest valid measure will be accepted.

Monash University reserve the right to ask students to complete an English test to meet English course requirements upon request.

Further information can be located at English language requirements.

International students applying for a visa need to satisfy English requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs where these requirements and acceptable English tests differ from Monash University.

All Monash University undergraduate courses require you to have previously studied and achieved required Australian level standards in specific subject known as prerequisite subjects.

You must satisfy the following prerequisite subject requirements for this course:

*If you have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification you will be required to meet the prerequisite subject requirements that are equivalent to the VCE prerequisite subject requirements specified above.

You must satisfy the following additional requirements for this course:

Selection requirements
Extra requirements
Courses with maths and science prerequisite subjects

If the course you are applying for requires maths and/or science as prerequisite subjects, you can meet the requirements in the following ways:

  • Australian Year 12 or International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme:

    You must meet the maths and/or science prerequisite subject required for your chosen course as specified above (if applicable).

  • Other qualifications recognised by Monash:

    If you have completed maths and/or science subjects in the relevant discipline at the required grade level, it is assumed that you have knowledge equivalent to the Australian Year 12 (VCE equivalent) prerequisite subject required for your chosen course. It is strongly recommended that you check that you have covered the assumed knowledge required for your course by completing the Assumed Knowledge Skills Analysis.

    This online activity includes multiple-choice questions based on your prior studies and helps you identify areas for revision, so you can start your course feeling confident and prepared. Once you accept your Monash offer and set up your student account you can complete the Assumed Knowledge Skills Analysis before starting your course.

These guidelines do not apply to the Bachelor of Medical Science or Doctor of Medicine, or to courses that require a tertiary-level Physiology unit: Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) (Graduate Entry), and Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) and Master of Pharmacy (Graduate Entry).

I chose the Masters Accelerated Pathway to help my career progression. I've undertaken a master's specialisation that follows on from my robotics bachelor degree, to learn more about automation technology and additive manufacturing techniques. I'd like to be working in a research and development position in a new and upcoming industry.
