is it workable at all?

any suggestions? :)

edit: silly me 4got to mention its unimelb and i meant 3 yrs biomed+2yrs master of engineering (chem)

While technically it's possible to get into the Master of Engineering (Chemical) from any undergrad degree you'd have to call UoM and find out exactly what criteria you need.


According to their site the prerequisites are as follows:

Master of Engineering (ME) (Chemical)
Science: 25 points of first year Chemistry (or equivalent)
Mathematics: 25 points of first-year mathematics, specifically Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra (or equivalent)

The actual listed pathway courses are Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Commerce.

From what I can tell from the website it seems like you need both:

New Generation Graduates
100 points (or one year) of credit will be granted to those who meet the above entry criteria and have successfully completed an engineering systems major or sequence in a New Generation degree at the University of Melbourne.


Any reason why you're not considering straight Eng?

tkx :)
lol um, doesn't straight Eng take more time?....um i dunno, is it best that i choose straight Eng?

sry bout the late reply i fell asleep last night, i mean, this morning..

A straight engineering degree is actually shorter than a melbourne model degree (4 years for BEng Vs 5 years for BBiomed + MEng). I don't think you can do chemical engineering through the biomedicine degree (http://coursesearch.unimelb.edu.au/coursedetail.aspx?cid=1504&ctype=&qtype=&typepg=1&typeug=1&typesc=0&typepe=1&typepd=0&typer=0&stype=All&sterm=).

Are you doing biomedicine because you are still considering a major in the health sciences?
2008: Finished VCE

2009 - 2011: Bachelor of Science (Mathematical Physics)

2012 - 2014: Master of Science (Applied Mathematics/Mathematical Physics)

Semester 1:[/b] Engineering Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Engineering Risk Analysis, Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering

Semester 2:[/b] Earth Processes for Engineering, Engineering Materials, Structural Theory and Design, Systems Modelling and Design

um if i get 95+ enter they say i could get a guaranteed entry to the master of chem Eng via Science, doing an Engineering bachelor, however, directs me to a specialised master of Engineering, which does not hold a guranteed entry and requires certain marks for my undergrad outcomes.. However, a specialised master of engineering generally lasts for one year while the other lasts for two...

dilemma.

The specialised Master for people who have BEng already is different to the Master for people who don't. One is an extension of what is required to be an engineer, the other is the course to become an engineer.

As QuantumJG mentioned straight Eng is 4 years while going through Bx>MEng will take you 5 years (3+2)

Also important is to note is if you're planning on going into work as an Engineer then the Masters has no real benefits. The only real important factor in working as an Engineer is to have your course accredited by EA. Pretty sure both courses are.

I'm actually taking the straight Eng degree (hopefully) because it saves me a year of study and also is the safer options (I hear only 50% of graduate positions into the MEng are either CSP or scholarship, meaning the rest are full fee)

"Effective immediately, and valid for commencements in the Master of Engineering up until 2014 (inclusive), all local students articulating from New Generation Bachelors degrees with engineering systems majors or sequences who meet the entry requirements for the Master of Engineering, will receive a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) in the Master of Engineering."

"Effective immediately..."

That's pretty awesome.

also

"This new guarantee supercedes the former policy guaranteeing a CSP in the Masters to those with an ENTER of 95 or above, entering New Generation degrees with engineering systems majors or sequences."

Seems you don't even need a 95 ENTER to be guaranteed entry anymore.
