Graduate Diploma of Professional Engineering (Aerospace Engineering)

• Embark on a career in aerospace engineering with UniSQ’s Graduate Diploma of Professional Engineering. 
• Gain an understanding of advanced aerospace systems to ensure safe operation and proper maintenance of aircraft and space vehicles.
• UniSQ’s aerospace specialisation has two sub-disciplines – the Mechanical strand and the Electrical and Electronic strand. Choose specialisation courses that suit your career goals and explore thermofluids, aerodynamics, propulsion systems, aerospace transport structures, simulations, navigation systems, communication systems, or human-machine interfaces to gain more insight into flight safety, fuel and cost efficiency, and environmental impact.
• Develop transferrable skills in engineering project management, communication, sustainable development, problem solving, and safety management.
• You can choose to study aerospace engineering online or on-campus, full-time or part-time to suit your lifestyle and work commitments.

Further study

When you complete your Graduate Diploma of Professional Engineering you could take the credit from your studies and go on to complete the Master of Professional Engineering (Aerospace Eningeering) and gain a Professional Engineer qualification by Engineering Australia.

• Completion of an Australian university three or four-year Bachelor degree in the area of engineering in the relevant cognate specialisation (major), or equivalent.
  or
• Completion of an appropriate four-year embedded honours Bachelor degree in the area of engineering in a non-cognate specialisation (major field), or equivalent.

English language requirements

You are required to satisfy the applicable English language requirements and this degree requires a minimum of IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. If you do not meet the English language requirements you may apply to study a University-approved English language program.

Recognition of prior learning or work experience

If you have previously studied in your home country, you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning to reduce the number of courses that you need to study to finish your program.

• Graduates may find work as an aerospace technician, aerospace electro-magnetic compatibility engineer, data analyst, aircraft mechanic, inspection manager, technical sales engineer, mechanical or electrical engineer, data engineer. 
• Aerospace engineers may find work in diverse areas, such as aerodynamics and performance, communication and electrical systems, component EMI compatibility, flight simulators and flight management systems, environmental effects, fuels and lubricants, hydraulic systems, radar and satellite systems, risk management, cabin environment and cockpit ergonomics, noise and acoustic effects, propulsion systems, vehicle launch and recovery in Australian industry and Defence.
