Master Programme
Professional Engineering
QUT's Master of Professional Engineering is an Engineers Australia-accredited degree for engineering graduates who want advanced skills in their discipline, with recognition in other Washington Accord countries. Students choose from seven majors across civil engineering (Civil, Civil and Construction, Civil with Management), electrical engineering (Electrical, Electrical with Management) and mechanical engineering (Mechanical, Mechanical with Management). The course mixes advanced technical study with sustainability, ethics, evidence-based practice and management skills for engineering leaders. Holders of a four-year engineering degree in the matching discipline can finish in 1.5 years, and three-year graduates take two years.

Application Deadline
QUT accepts international applications all year for most courses (a few courses have their own opening and closing dates, shown on the course page) and advises applying as early as possible, because assessment, offers and the student visa all take time. Apply online through the QUT Application Portal or through a QUT official representative; applicants outside Australia who need a student visa and are nationals of certain countries (including India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan and most African countries) must apply through a representative. A non-refundable A$100 application fee applies. QUT asks new international students to arrive about two weeks before classes start for orientation.
Tuition Information
International: A$51,100 a year (QUT's 2027 indicative annual fee for international students, full-time 96 credit points, as shown on the course page). QUT's indicative fee is an estimate for a standard full-time year of 96 credit points: your actual fee depends on the units you enrol in, and fees rise each year, so later years usually cost more. To accept an offer, new international students pay a deposit based on the estimated first-semester fee. Overseas Student Health Cover (required for the student visa), course-specific costs such as equipment or materials, and living costs are extra.
Admission Requirements
- QUT course code EN55; CRICOS 096754G. Academic entry: a completed recognised engineering degree in the discipline of your chosen major (for example civil engineering for the Civil majors) with a GPA of at least 4.00 on QUT's 7-point scale. A four-year full-time bachelor degree leads to the 1.5-year program. A three-year full-time engineering or engineering technology degree leads to the 2-year program.

Cambridge C1 Advanced, LanguageCert Academic and the Michigan English Test are also accepted at the scores on the course page. If you fall short, QUT may offer a package with an English or pathway program
- Professional recognition: accredited by Engineers Australia (a Washington Accord signatory)
