UC Engineering management programmes

UC Engineering's postgraduate programmes develop engaged, professional managers who add value by applying their integrated technical and business knowledge. Whether you're interested in a postgraduate diploma or a Master of Engineering Management (MEM), check out our management programmes.

HOW TO APPLY
Study options

The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is designed for recent graduates who want to transition to management roles in technology-based organisations. The Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering Management (PGDipEM) is designed as a pathway to the MEM. Both programmes offer a short time commitment, strong connections with industry, and flexibility.

Entry requirements and enrolment

The MEM is a restricted entry course and candidates must meet our entry criteria.
