Master of Engineering Studies
The MEngSt allows students with academic engineering backgrounds to expand their existing theoretical and practical skills. It is flexible – you can study either full-time or part-time, undertake either a primarily coursework or research-focused program, and choose from sixteen distinct specializations.
This program ultimately requires an in-depth exploration of your chosen topic. You will demonstrate high-quality critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are sought-after by employers worldwide or consider this as a foundation for further study.
