Entry to the Master of Engineering or Master of Science is usually on the basis of a good quality Bachelor degree or equivalent from a tertiary institution recognised by UNSW.

Entry to the Doctor of Philosophy requires an Honours degree in engineering or a related discipline from a tertiary institution recognised by UNSW.

In considering applications for research programs, the Faculty will usually assess whether:
