The ME may be endorsed with a specific subject, such as:
- Electronic and Computer System Engineering (ECEN)
- Network Engineering (NWEN) or
- Software Engineering (SWEN).
To be eligible for the award of Distinction or Merit, a candidate must complete the degree within 18 months. For part time students, the period may be extended pro rata to a maximum of three years.
Students who are interested in entering the ME programme are encouraged to discuss thesis ideas with relevant staff who may supervise their research.
