Postgraduate study in Electrical Engineering allows students to consolidate a specialisation from an undergraduate degree, change direction to a new area within the field, or lay the foundation for a career in research and development. There are two masters specialisations – Electrical Engineering and Systems and Control. The Electrical Engineering specialisation within the Master of Engineering Science program is designed for graduate engineers seeking to develop or enhance their careers through cross-training, re-training and specialisation. An extensive research component ensures students are armed with practical and analytical skills. This program is underpinned by the attainment of disciplinary and advanced disciplinary knowledge, and the undertaking of an enquiry-based learning component. This stream offers electives across several sub-disciplines of electrical engineering, allowing students the option of obtaining a good depth of knowledge in one discipline, or a breadth of knowledge by adopting a multidisciplinary approach when choosing their electives. The stream provides a solid postgraduate program for electrical engineers wishing to upgrade their skills or further their knowledge. The Master of Engineering Science program promotes flexible learning as a keystone of the program – it is designed for students who already have a four year accredited engineering degree and who now wish to broaden their job prospects through cross training, re-training or specialisation. This program takes two years to complete (students may be granted credit for some courses. Those with a degree or extensive professional experience in a related area can apply for credit of up to 50% of a program); it is a non-accredited program, and does not offer industrial training.
