Program Description

Maintenance and reliability engineering (MRE) is a powerful tool in managing assets to improve industrial profitability. It has surely never been more required with many physical assets required to be in service longer and to work better. Hundreds of engineers, managers and senior technical people from around Australia and the world, have increased their skills and capability by completing MRE postgraduate programs.

The programs were designed for and are only offered by off-campus learning: there are no matching on-campus classes. Study materials are print-based, with web-enhanced delivery. Our Course Advisers are engineers from academia and industry, accessible via email. Students are expected to access our extensive Library resources in this field, with much on-line material available.

Normally, two courses are studied in a semester, but a lesser study load is possible. Courses are offered on a semester basis and mid-year entry is available. Each course requires about 150 hours of effort through the semester, but this does vary with the individual. Our programs are:

 Graduate Certificate in Reliability Engineering (4 courses)*
 Graduate Certificate in Maintenance Management (4 courses)*
 Graduate Diploma in Engineering Maintenance Management (8 courses)
 Master of Maintenance and Reliability Engineering (8 courses with BE**, 12 units for those advancing from the Graduate Diploma)

* Applicants with relevant experience who do not hold tertiary qualifications are welcome to study one or two courses on a fee-paying, not-for-degree basis. Completion of two courses with 65%+ average grades enables transfer with full credit for courses completed into the relevant Graduate Certificate, with the prospect of advancement into the Graduate Diploma, and likewise later into the Master’s degree.

** These applicants can customise their studies, and choose 7 courses, plus the mandatory project course: MREGC5008
