Stream Outline

The Electrical Engineering specialisation within the Master of Engineering Science is underpinned by the attainment of disciplinary and advanced disciplinary knowledge, and the undertaking of an enquiry-based learning component. This stream offers electives across several sub-disciplines of electrical engineering, allowing students the option of obtaining a good depth of knowledge in one discipline, or a breadth of knowledge by adopting a multidisciplinary approach when choosing their electives. The stream provides a solid postgraduate program for electrical engineers wishing to upgrade their skills or further their knowledge.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

A student must hold a Bachelor of Engineering with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent) or hold a Graduate Diploma of Engineering with at least a credit average, in a relevant discipline, or an equivalent qualification from UNSW or another recognised university or tertiary institution in order to be admitted to the stream. Relevant disciplines considered for entry include electrical or telecommunications engineering, where a broad knowledge in electrical engineering is provided.
