1_ The Foundation Certificate in English for Academic Purposes (FCertEAP), or
2_ The English Pathway for Postgraduate Studies (EPPS).


Academic background and requirement

Taught 180 points:

You must have completed an undergraduate engineering degree at a recognised university (or similar institution), in a field similar to your intended specialisation.

You will need a GPE of 4.0 (65%-69.9%).

Other pathways to study

If you do not meet the GPE requirement, you can still gain entry by passing 60 points towards the Postgraduate Certificate in Engineering with a GPA of 4.0.

In exceptional circumstances, the university will consider you for entry if you have completed an undergraduate degree and have three years of work experience in engineering.  

The other alternative pathway into this programme is open to applicants with appropriate backgrounds and professional experience, including those with a Bachelor of Technology or a Bachelor of Science.

Career opportunities

If you’re a current industry professional with a few years of experience, a postgraduate programme in Polymer Engineering aims to give you the specialised knowledge necessary for the next step on your career pathway. 

Some of the intermediate and experienced roles this can lead to include:

  1. Research Engineer
  2. Injection Moulding Specialist
  3. Plastics R&D Engineer
  4. Quality Assurance Inspector
  5. Factory Manager
  6. Senior Product Analyst
