Telecommunications Engineering
Next-generation networks, optimise data transmission, and drive the evolution of communication technologies. Shape the future of global connectivity and redefine how the world communicates.
Who is this course for?
The Master of Advanced Telecommunications Engineering is for you if:
- You have a qualification and background in engineering and are seeking to specialise in telecommunications
- You have work experience in the telecommunications industry and wish to challenge and extend your knowledge and expand your understanding and perspective
- You are seeking to advance your career by undertaking leading-edge research in telecommunications and related fields.
Specialisation overview
The way we communicate is rapidly evolving.
In the Master of Advanced Telecommunications Engineering you’ll explore the intricacies of information flow across modern telecommunication systems. This includes, but is not limited to the internet and future wireless networks. You will explore advanced electromagnetics and optical communication, whilst enhancing your knowledge of signal processing. In addition, you will further develop your knowledge of crucial system design principles, implement signal processing algorithms on state-of-the-art facilities whilst gaining practical experience.
Students undertaking the research stream will complete a research thesis, while those in the industry stream will gain practical experience working with one of Monash Engineering’s telecommunications partners.
Careers in Telecommunications Engineering
As new communication technologies emerge and our use of telecommunications changes rapidly, the need for specialised telecommunications engineers continues to grow, with organisations seeking engineering leaders to solve complex challenges.
