Overview
The Master of Engineering in Management (MEM) gives graduates with an Engineering degree or a degree in another relevant subject a real insight into the business world. A fast-paced course, the MEM offers small group classes, intensive learning and a chance to apply technical skills in real-life situations.
As part of the course, students complete a six-month industry-based project. The MEM is endorsed by Engineering New Zealand as a quality professional development course.
Normally the minimum requirement is a three-year bachelor’s degree from a New Zealand university, or a qualification or combination of qualifications considered to be equivalent. If you gained your qualifications overseas, these will need to be assessed to make sure they are of an equivalent standard.
You are also required to meet UC's English language requirements.
Specific entry requirements
Candidates must have completed the equivalent of a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours or another degree with good grades in relevant subjects. The standard and relevance of previous studies are the main criteria for selection.
Students wishing to enrol in postgraduate study must have completed both the academic and non-academic requirements of the prerequisite degree. This includes practical work days, work reports, a workshop training course and a first aid certificate.
For the full entry requirements see the Regulations for the Master of Engineering in Management or use the admission requirements checker.
How to apply
You will need to complete an application form for the MEM from the College of Engineering website.
There may be a limitation on the number of students accepted in to the MEM each year. While students can apply any time preceding the year they wish to enrol, candidates are encouraged to apply early as applications close once the programme is full. More information can be found on the Engineering Management website.
Find out more about how to apply for graduate and postgraduate qualifications.
The MEM consists of six courses and a project report.
Intending students should consult the Engineering Management Programme to determine which courses from ENMG 601–609 will be offered in any one year and their subject matter. The Regulations for the Master of Engineering in Management also lists the schedule of courses.
The master’s must be completed within 12 months full-time. Studies commence at the beginning of Semester 1 (usually February) each year.
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Engineering Management is also available.
Postgraduate study can bring many career benefits eg, specialist skills and enhanced knowledge, entry into specific occupations, higher starting salary/progression rates, research capability/achievement and evidence of high academic attainment/self-discipline.
