Electrical engineering
Ready to shape the future of technology? From developing life-saving health tech and supercharging renewable energy to pioneering AI-powering optical processors, electrical engineering puts you at the forefront of innovation. Discover what’s next and build the skills you need for a high-impact career.
As we enter a new era of smart, connected technologies, learn from experienced engineers as you apply theory in hands-on lab sessions and design projects.
You might develop non-invasive foetal heart monitoring techniques. Build neural prosthetics like bionic eyes to help people regain function. Integrate smart cities to ensure pedestrian and cyclist safety. Or design autonomous trains and delivery vehicles to safely transport people and goods – while
cutting emissions.
You’ll expand your understanding of signal processing, electronics design, electromagnetism, antennas, real-time system design, multimedia communications and smart grids.
As the adoption of automation and AI accelerates, organisations need a new generation of electrical engineers to analyse data, boost efficiencies and build better products. We’ll show you how to take charge and lead the way.
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.

As a result of my research, this has led to creating the world’s first self-calibrated photonic-chip, revolutionising the connectivity of current optical chips and replacing bulky 3D-optics with a wafer-thin slice of silicon. In my career aspirations for the future, I want to develop my professional knowledge and work in an industry-leading company, contributing to valuable research.”
