Increase your value in the workplace along with your specialised knowledge with our highly rated course. Graduates have ranked their experience in our post graduate engineering courses better for teaching quality and overall satisfaction compared to other Australian universities.

As a professional asset manager who helps ensure that industrial assets work more efficiently, your work directly relates to the profitability of businesses. We'll walk you through terotechnology and lifecycle costs, risk engineering, reliability applications and more so that you can become highly qualified professional in the asset management field.

You'll study off-campus, allowing you to work around your employment as a manager, engineer or technician involved in the operation, maintenance and reliability improvement of industrial, public sector or defence systems.

Students can enrol in a maximum of 2 units per semester. Students who hold an eligible 3 year bachelor degree or a 3 years technology degree and relevant experience will need to complete 12 courses. Students who hold an eligible 4 year engineering degree and honours equivalent may receive credit and will need to complete 8 units.
