Rules & notes

Rules

1. Credit to a maximum of 18 units will be given to students who have completed a Graduate Certificate in Engineering (LCEE) program at UniSA.

2. In other cases, credit may be given to students who completed postgraduate level courses in addition to their undergraduate study, subject to the approval of the Program Director.Such credit will not be granted for more than one third of the total units of the program.

3. Where there is significant overlap of contents between courses offered as part of Graduate Diploma in Engineering and courses completed as part of undergraduate study, students are required to enrol in courses that have no such overlap.

Notes

1. Upon successful completion of 4 courses (18 units) from the Graduate Diploma in Engineering schedule, students may elect to exit with a Graduate Certificate in Engineering.

2. In justified cases, and subject to the approval from the Program Director, students may be permitted to enrol in courses offered as part of other programs, e.g. LMST - Master of Engineering (Systems Engineering) or (Test and Evaluation).

3. Not all courses will be available in all study periods.
