Bachelor of
Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours) /
Master of Engineering
Power the technologies that connect and sustain our world.
This program equips you with the knowledge and practical skills to design, develop, and manage electrical systems for industries such as energy, telecommunications, and automation. You’ll gain hands-on experience through real-world projects and industry engagement, preparing you to create solutions that drive progress and sustainability.
This pathway will combine your foundational engineering education with a masters level qualification, and is designed for future leaders in the engineering sector where you can specialise in renewable energy engineering. This advanced pathway focuses on leadership and strategic expertise, giving you the ability to manage complex projects, lead multidisciplinary teams, and shape the future of energy and technology. You'll graduate prepared for senior roles that combine technical excellence with visionary leadership in emerging sectors that will power the future.
In this program you will:
- Commence your career in engineering with an accelerated masters level qualification
- Develop in-depth skills in electrical and electronic engineering theory, standards and practice
- Complete specialist courses in circuit design and analysis, electrical power systems (including renewable energy), robotics and automation, computer programming and more
- Study electrical power distribution engineering, advanced control systems engineering, principles of renewable energy sources and more
- Develop professional engineering competencies in project management, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, communication, and research

Domestic students
Indicative 2026 fees (CSP): A$8,336*
Commonwealth supported places are substantially subsidised by the Australian Government so that students only pay 'student contribution" amounts. The student contribution amount will vary depending on the course you are studying and how much funding the Government provides.
If you accept a Commonwealth supported place you are a Commonwealth supported student. As a Commonwealth supported student you must make a contribution towards the cost of your education (unless you are enrolled in Enabling or Tertiary Preparation Pathway courses) with the majority of the cost met by the Commonwealth Government.
Commonwealth supported places are only available to domestic students. As a domestic student you are entitled to a Commonwealth supported place in an eligible program if you:
- meet the citizenship and residency requirements
- complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF)
- meet the University's entry requirements for your chosen program.
* This is an indicative fee for one year of full-time study. Actual fees will change based on courses selected and are subject to yearly increases.
You may be eligible for a government loan to defer payment. Learn more about fees.
