COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Engineering (Telecommunications) at UNSW Sydney is a 96 Units of Credit (UOC) postgraduate program designed to develop advanced technical expertise and professional capability in telecommunications engineering. The program structure consists of a 96 UOC specialisation that allows students to build in-depth knowledge across key areas such as communication systems, signal processing, telecommunications networks, electrical engineering, computer science applications, project management, renewable energy systems, and industrial control systems. This comprehensive specialisation ensures students gain both theoretical understanding and practical engineering skills aligned with modern industry requirements. A compulsory component of the program is ENGG4999 – 60 Days of Industrial Training, which provides structured, pre-approved industry experience in real engineering environments. This industrial training enables students to apply academic learning to practical telecommunications and engineering challenges, while developing workplace competencies, professional conduct, and familiarity with industry standards and technologies. It also significantly enhances employability by providing hands-on exposure to real-world engineering practice. The combination of academic specialisation and industrial training ensures graduates are well prepared for professional engineering roles. Overall, the program equips students with strong analytical, design, and problem-solving skills, along with practical industry experience, enabling them to pursue successful careers in telecommunications, networking, electrical systems, and related technology sectors in Australia and globally.
