About this programme
UC's Master of Engineering specialises in network engineering and is a 48-credit-point programme delivered over two years full-time on campus at Bruce, Canberra. It covers network architecture, wireless systems and cybersecurity and includes capstone research projects, with a strong emphasis on Work Integrated Learning and real-world problem solving through industry placements. The university states it is pursuing accreditation with Engineers Australia at Professional Engineer level and with the Australian Computer Society at Professional level.
What the fee covers: the international annual rate for a standard full-time enrolment of 24 credit points (1 EFTSL).
Fee year: 2026.
English requirement as published: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, no band below 6.0 (or equivalent).
Before you budget: UC's page carries an international rate of AUD 42,000 for 2026 and AUD 43,500 for 2027. Entry requires a four-year Bachelor of Engineering or equivalent, so a three-year Indian BE or BTech may not meet it — confirm with UC before you apply. Engineers Australia accreditation is described on the page as being pursued rather than held, which matters if you plan to register as an engineer in Australia. SSAF is payable on top of tuition.
