Stream Outline
Postgraduate study in Electrical Engineering allows students to consolidate a specialisation degree, change direction to a new area of engineering or accelerate towards careers in R&D. There are two Masters specialisations – Electrical Engineering, and Systems and Control.
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
Students need a recognised four year Bachelor degree in a relevant discipline of engineering with a minimum 65% average.*
*NOTE: The minimum average required for entry is as determined by the UNSW Postgraduate Entry Score Calculator. Students from a non-211 university in China need a minimum 70% average. For entry details (particularly for South Asian students) please click here.
