Renewable energy engineering
Embark on an exciting journey to help shape the future of energy and make a lasting impact on the planet with our Master's degree specialisation in Renewable Energy Engineering.
You’ll design, implement and manage innovative and sustainable energy systems, where cutting-edge technology meets eco-conscious solutions.
Get the cutting-edge knowledge and skills you’ll need to excel in the rapidly-growing field of renewable energy.
With an emphasis on practical applications and industry relevance, this specialisation will empower you to make a meaningful impact on the energy landscape, contributing to the successful transition to sustainable energy resources and systems in Australia and beyond.
Acquire comprehensive knowledge of renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, and hydropower. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the design, implementation and integration of renewables-based systems into the energy landscape.
Most importantly, you’ll contribute to a greener future using your engineering skills and fulfilling your sense of purpose and environmental stewardship.
You need to satisfy the following entrance requirements to be considered for entry to this course.
Minimum Entry Requirements
Qualifications
An Australian Bachelor of Engineering* degree (or equivalent) in a discipline relating to the specialisation to be studied within the Master course as approved by the Faculty, with at least high credit (65%) average.
*equivalent to an Australian 4 year Bachelor of Engineering degree.
Please note: the Engineering management, Renewable energy engineering and Smart manufacturing engineering specialisations are available to applicants with an Australian Bachelor of Engineering in any discipline, excluding Software engineering. For other Master's specialisations, the prior qualification must be in a related discipline.

Renewable energy is truly multidisciplinary, integrating aspects of electrical, mechanical, civil, materials and industrial engineering. I had worked in renewables, but the Masters experience at Monash broadened my skill set and my perspective, especially around innovation and developing technology to meet customer needs. As an international student, it also helped me make career connections.”
