Major: Telecommunications and Networking Engineering
This course is designed for graduates from a four-year Engineering undergraduate degree not accredited by Engineers Australia in a related discipline.
The course is not suitable for graduates of a four-year undergraduate degree, with Engineers Australia accreditation in the same discipline. Those holding an EA accredited qualification and seeking a masters level qualification in the same discipline are encouraged to consider applying for entry to the Master of Philosophy or Master of Engineering Management.

Applicants seeking entry who do not hold a four year Engineering degree are required to first complete the one-year Graduate Diploma in Professional Engineering.

The electronics and communication fields represent two of the fastest growing technology areas in the world.

With the rapid progress of information technology, the role of communications is becoming even more crucial for increasing industry efficiency and competition.

This major explores relevant topics in telecommunications and networking, like mobile radio communications, sensor networks and data network security.

During the course, you will gain at least 12 weeks of exposure to engineering professional practice and keep a formal log book to record your experience. During your final-year project, you will have the opportunity to further investigate and apply emergent technologies in telecommunications and networking systems.
