Stream Outline
For those working in the booming telecommunications industry, or those who can see its potential opportunities, there’s no better way to gain a leading edge than through postgraduate study in Telecommunications Engineering. Our programs provide advanced training in the latest industry theory and application.
As with all streams under the Master of Engineering Science, the Telecommunications 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 telecommunications, including networking and network security, wireless and satellite communications, modulation and coding, quantum communications, and GPS technology. 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.
