A competitive edge with informatics

Cornelis Bosua undertook a Diploma in Informatics, while he was studying the Bachelor of Commerce. Today, Cornelis works as a Data Analyst for Australian analytics firm, Quantium.

“Studying the Diploma in Informatics was the best decision for me. It put me ahead of my classmates, when it came time to look for work.

“I would recommend the Diploma in Informatics to anyone considering it, as it will give you a competitive edge in today’s workplace.”


The professional Master of Engineering offers an accredited engineering qualification for graduates seeking entry into the engineering profession, in the following 11 technical specialisations: Biomedical, Biochemical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Environmental, Spatial, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Software and Structural Engineering and six ‘with business’ specialisations in Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Software Engineering.

Construct a real-world careerMaster of Engineering (Civil) graduate William Thay chose to make the switch to engineering, after studying and working in pharmacy.

“I wanted to become an engineer because the world is on the brink of great change, where the expertise of engineers will be needed to make life more sustainable.”

William became interested in construction, during some projects he worked on, while at university.

“I found the projects and assignments were very practical and a lot of things we worked on were actually happening in industry. I worked on a project that the City of Melbourne were also working on, providing me with invaluable real-world insight into project management.”

William has now secured a role in construction management with national construction company ProBuild.

Master of Engineering Structures

Challenge yourself every dayRinay Singh chose to return to the University of Melbourne to do further study in structural engineering.

“I just wanted to go to the best university in Australia and learn from the best lecturers and tutors, and it has paid off.”

The knowledge Rinay gained from the Master of Engineering Structures impressed the senior engineers at international construction consulting company Cardno, where he now works as a structural engineer.

“I did the masters course because I wanted to learn key aspects of structural engineering, things that many engineers would not know about, such as earthquake design and explosive design.”

Rinay particularly enjoys working on difficult problems at work.

“Everyday is different and everyday is challenging. It is very satisfying solving challenges and hurdles, or coming up with solutions that no one has thought of.”

Accelerate your own startupSince completing a Master of Engineering (Electrical) and a stint with the Melbourne Accelerator Program (MAP), David Mah has gone on to launch two business startups. He is co-founder of the highly successful retail app Bluesky; the most popular mobile catalogue shopping app in Australia. His more recent startup venture, Kepler Analytics, is a real-time analytics tool for customer behaviour in bricks and mortar stores. He attributes his time as an engineering and MAP student as pivotal to his success.

“The University of Melbourne was a top choice for me to study electrical engineering, because of its positive culture and highly innovative environment. Looking back, I don’t think I would have considered my own startup company, if it were not for my experience studying at Melbourne and my involvement with the Melbourne Accelerator Program.”

Master of Environmental Engineering

Learn to create a more sustainable world

Jorge Orjuela works as a consultant in the energy industry. He decided it was time to learn more about environmental engineering, so that he could answer the increasing number of environmental questions and concerns of his customers.

“My clients have been asking questions, not just in relation to energy management, but also water management and waste management and matters related to sustainability and the environment. Studying the Master of Environmental Engineering seemed like a great opportunity to expand my knowledge in these areas.”

Environmental engineering is a growing field and there are lots of opportunities to work for larger companies that have environmental concerns or requirements.

Develop an app that goes globalWhile still a student of the Master of Engineering (Software) Andy Sum has co-created ‘Crossy Road’, a mobile game that has stormed worldwide app charts and earned Andy and his business partner a seven-figure salary. The retro arcade-styled game was downloaded over 60 million times in the first year of its release.

“Our aim for Crossy Road was to make it appeal to as many people as possible. Once we were featured by the App Store we started getting hundreds of thousands of downloads each day. We realised it was big, but we were thinking ‘When is it going to drop?’ However, our downloads have just been going up. It took us about a month before we realised how big the game actually was.”

Information Technology is revolutionising our society, from business and health, to manufacturing and entertainment. IT underlies scientific discoveries and medical breakthroughs, helps develop innovative new products and services, and is central to many aspects of modern life.

Join a new and rapidly expanding industryClaudia Nguyen was attracted to the broad scope of spatial information technology.

“There’s the IT component that gives you the programming, the engineering component which looks at the civil engineering side of the industry, and then the GIS side, which is the spatial component.”

Claudia was able to find work in the spatial industry, while still studying her Master’s degree and has already experienced a variety of work settings.

“I currently work at a geospatial company and have previously worked in local government, giving me a taste of how I can apply my degree in different organisations.

Since completing the course, Claudia works as a spatial consultant with AAM, a geospatial services company that specialises in the collection, analysis, presentation and delivery of geospatial information.

Develop the skills to succeed in industryMaster of Information Technology (Computing) student Jun Jen Chen enjoys the practical real-world assignments that he gets to work on in his course.

On a recent internship with Infosys in India, Jun Jen noted that he was able to use skills learnt at university on his work projects.

“It is fulfilling to know that not only do I enjoy what I’m studying, it is also what I would be doing in an industry setting.”

Jun Jen says that the assignment work is challenging and rewarding.

“In one of my assignments, I made a social media platform similar to Instagram. Knowing that I can make something that is comparable with industry standards is very satisfying.”

Enhance your studies with an internshipDuring her Master of Engineering (Mechanical), Catherine Phillips completed an internship with ExxonMobil, where she worked as a subsurface engineer, developing a plan to reinstate hydrocarbon production from a damaged offshore well. Catherine developed a technical understanding of subsurface engineering techniques and technologies and learnt to use software relating to oil and gas production.

“My role involved liaising with vendors and technical experts, and then presenting my recommendations to senior management. I most enjoyed the independent nature of my work, as I was able to manage my own progress and drive the direction of my project. It was also really valuable getting to practice communicating technical ideas to non-technical audiences, and learning about the standards required in a professional environment.”

Catherine has recently obtained a graduate engineering role with IBM.

Create technologies of the future

Self-confessed science fiction fan Ricardo Rosas says that he has

always wanted to live in a world with robots. Ricardo decided to study

mechatronics, so that he could be part of creating these new technologies.

“I chose mechatronics at Melbourne because of the quality of the research

that is done here, and the quality of the university.”

During his studies Ricardo has worked on some academic research projects;

an experience he values highly.

“I’ve been working on a couple of the robotics projects with one of the researchers here. It has been a very

interesting experience, and one of the highlights of my Masters.”

Discover career options with an industry projectIn his final year of the Master of

Engineering (Biomedical) Matthew Kelly did an industry project

with GE Healthcare. In this year-long project, he gathered and researched data at a large

public hospital.

“This was great opportunity to gain both valuable hands-on hospital

experience, and close interaction with healthcare professionals. The experience highlighted my interest

in IT Healthcare and has led me to a career in this industry, where I now

work as a Technology Consultant for Cerner Corporation.”
