University of Queensland
Master of Engineering Science (Management)
- Delivery: Face to Face
- Study Level: Postgraduate
- Duration: 24 months
- Course Type: Master's
Develop professional engineering skills and technical expertise in their discipline through advanced and master's level courses.
Course overview
The Master of Engineering Science (Management) is designed for applicants with a background in engineering. You will have an engineering degree and be looking to expand your skills in leadership and/or management. You may also be looking to broaden career options to a career beyond engineering.
You will benefit from a program that offers a flexible study plan and tailor your studies to suit your interests, your industry, or your career goals. Undertake a supervised research project relevant to your engineering field. You'll be expected to plan and manage all aspects of your project systematically and to clearly explain your findings and what they contribute to your field.
In this program, you will graduate with the skills required to solve complex engineering challenges in a changing world.
CSP Subsidised Fees Available
This program has a limited quota of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP). The indicative CSP price is calculated based on first year fees for EFT. The actual fee may vary if there are choices in electives or majors.

Fees and CSP
Indicative annual fee in 2025: $12,621 (Commonwealth Supported Place)
The Indicative annual fee is based on your approximate yearly cost of tuition (16 units).
A student’s annual fee may vary in accordance with:
- The number of units studied.
- Choice of courses.
- Credit from previous study or work experience.
- Eligibility for government-funded loans.
Student fees shown are subject to change. Contact the university directly to confirm.
Commonwealth Supported Places
The Australian Government allocates a certain number of CSPs to the universities each year, which are then distributed to students based on merit.
If you're a Commonwealth Supported Student (CSS), you'll only need to pay a portion of your tuition fees. This is known as the student contribution amount – the balance once the government subsidy is applied. This means your costs are much lower.
Limited CSP spaces are offered to students enrolled in selected postgraduate courses.
Your student contribution amount is:
- Calculated per course you're enrolled in.
- Depending on the study areas they relate to.
- Reviewed and adjusted each year.
HECS-HELP loans are available to CSP students to pay the student contribution amount.
