Monash Science & Engineering

Science Pathway to Masters of Engineering

The Monash Bachelor of Science can be used as a pathway into graduate Engineering at Monash. If you love science and also have an interest in engineering, keep your options open and be on track to earn both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Professional Engineering.

New in 2022 is the option for students to undertake certain units from Monash's Bachelor of Science so that they can fast track their Masters studies in Engineering.  In this pathway, students can choose up to four Engineering Foundation units to study as electives in the second and third year of their Science degree. Monash offers five engineering masters specialisations and students will need to select the Engineering Foundation units that relate to the discipline/s they are interested in, and that will enable them to fast track their Masters.

In the final year of their Science degree, and provided the entry requirements are met, students can apply for graduate entry into the Master of Professional Engineering.  The successfully completed Engineering Foundation units can be credited to the Master of Professional Engineering and students can commence their Master’s in either the start or midyear intake, and be on track to complete their Engineering Master’s in 2.5 years instead of 3 years.  Students should note that they will still need to undertake 420 hours of CPD even if they do the course in 2 or 2.5 years.
