Visão geral do curso

Melhorar um processo de produção, testar um método de fabricação ou transformar um problema de engenharia em uma descoberta de pesquisa defensável são os tipos de tarefas que este Mestrado em Engenharia (Pesquisa) da Victoria University prepara os graduados para assumir. Ministrado em Footscray Park e Werribee em Melbourne, o curso de 104 semanas centra-se na pesquisa independente em engenharia, com a engenharia de produção fazendo parte de seu campo acadêmico. Pode ser adequado para engenheiros que buscam funções técnicas voltadas para pesquisa ou que estão considerando estudos de doutorado, em vez daqueles que buscam um curso baseado em uma colocação obrigatória no local de trabalho.

A Victoria University tem um caráter prático voltado para a indústria e uma forte conexão com os subúrbios ocidentais de Melbourne. O Footscray Park fica perto do rio Maribyrnong e do transporte público para o centro de Melbourne, enquanto Werribee fica no corredor oeste em expansão da cidade. Os diplomas de pesquisa exigem paciência com investigação, análise e redação sustentada, portanto, esse caminho é adequado para candidatos que desejam buscar em profundidade uma questão de engenharia definida e podem trabalhar com independência crescente.

A Victoria University (VU) é uma universidade pública com sede em Melbourne. É uma das seis universidades de dois setores na Austrália, oferecendo cursos de ensino superior e educação vocacional ou educação técnica e contínua (TAFE).

A Victoria University alcançou o status de universidade em 1991, mas as instituições anteriores datam de 1916.

Ser uma universidade de dois setores significa que os alunos da VU podem facilmente transitar da educação vocacional para a educação superior - como de um curso de certificado ou diploma até um curso de graduação ou até mesmo uma qualificação de pós-graduação.

VU Colleges oferecem diplomas, graduação e pós-graduação.

Cada faculdade se concentra em uma área de disciplina específica:

  • Artes e Educação
  • Negócios
  • Engenharia e Ciência
  • Saúde e Biomedicina
  • Lei e Justiça
  • Ciência do Esporte e do Exercício.

Cursos de inglês e diplomas preparatórios são oferecidos pelo VU College.

A divisão VU TAFE, Victoria University Polytechnic, oferece treinamento vocacional intimamente ligado à indústria.
