About

The Master of Engineering Science (Telecommunications Engineering) is designed for
Graduate engineers who wish to gain an advanced understanding at the master level of their current area of expertise in the field. You will learn technological and competitive skills needed in designing and engineering innovative modern telecommunications systems and networks. You will gain an understanding of the principles of telecommunications engineering, including the planning and management of telecommunications networks.

You will study a core of key engineering subjects: Advanced Signals and Systems, Advanced Laboratory and Project; and choose subjects in your chosen field of computer, electrical or telecommunications engineering. A research component ensures that you enhance your analytical and practical skills.

For the telecommunications engineering major you will study mobile networks, internet networking protocols and two technical/advanced telecommunications engineering subjects from a list of electives.

The Master of Engineering Science will provide you with the opportunity to further develop your technical knowledge in the disciplines of computer, electrical, or telecommunications engineering, as well as the ability to analyse and solve engineering problems and communicate these outcomes to other professionals.
