Postgraduate Diploma in E/E 2R: CAN/LIN and Diagnostics — studying from Australia

Motorcycles and two-wheeled vehicles are a significant part of Australian transport and recreation, with strong demand for motorcycles, scooters and e-bikes in urban and regional areas. Engineers working in this field contribute to chassis and powertrain design, rider safety systems and emissions compliance. National vehicle standards and rider safety initiatives shape product development and testing. Employers include motorcycle importers and distributors, component suppliers, accessory makers and e-mobility start-ups.

Fees for Australia: A$2,050 (AUD), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Relevant bodies in Australia

  • Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI)
  • Australian Motorcycle Industry Association
  • Standards Australia
  • Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts

Typical roles

  • Motorcycle Design Engineer
  • Two-Wheeler Test Engineer
  • Rider Safety Engineer
  • E-Mobility Product Engineer

Questions from Australia

Will a SEIUM qualification be recognised for motorcycle engineering roles in Australia?

SEIUM qualifications are private and not accredited by any Australian national body. Recognition for engineering or vehicle compliance roles is decided by individual employers and relevant bodies. Vehicle safety and compliance in Australia are governed by national design rules, which apply regardless of your qualification, so check requirements with the employer.

Which Australian employers work in motorcycle and two-wheeler engineering?

Motorcycle and scooter importers, distributors, component suppliers, dealer service networks and performance workshops are examples of Australian employers in this field. Whether they value a private qualification depends on their policies. Practical experience and a strong final project portfolio are typically persuasive in this industry.

Is the course suitable for someone working full time in Australia?

The programmes are delivered 100% online in English with an assigned technical tutor, so you can study from home at times that suit you. Fees are payable in instalments, and employers may sponsor you. Check the hours required for your chosen programme and make sure your schedule allows steady progress.

How you'll learn

100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Vector CANoe, Vector CANalyzer, Vector CANdelaStudio, PEAK PCAN-View, Wireshark, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for frame analysis and bus load in the vehicle, UDS diagnostic sessions with injected faults, and network simulation with virtual nodes. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrating project.

Accreditable laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with a rotor bench, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented Master's Thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operating limits.
Industry-mentored:lecturers with experience in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:safety-by-design approach, ciber-OT, DIH and compliance as pillars.
