The Master of Engineering (Transport Technologies) is a coursework degree that provides practising engineers with skills in applying an advanced body of knowledge to solve complex problems in a range of contexts, at the level of professional practice.

The program provides higher level skills in the design, construction, operation and renewal, and maintenance of transport infrastructure. A key component is interactions with recognised specialists teaching each course.

The degree is designed to interface with a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Seminar series that utilises international specialists and helps engineers stay current in their knowledge and skills.

Professional recognition
