Stream Outline
As with all streams under the Master of Engineering Science, the Energy Systems specialisation is underpinned by the attainment of disciplinary and advanced disciplinary knowledge, and the undertaking of an enquiry-based learning component. This stream offers a broad range of theoretical- and applications-based electives within the discipline of energy and power systems engineering, including smart-grids, power electronics for renewable energy engineering, power system analysis and protection, high voltage engineering, power systems planning and economics, and electrical safety. Such a choice allows students the gain a depth and breadth of knowledge across several themes.
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.
