Course Information:
College: College of Science and Technology
Division: Division of Information and Communication Sciences
Department(s): Department of Electronic Engineering
Area Of Study: Computing, Engineering and Technology
Course Type: Undergraduate
Degree Type: Bachelor Degree
CRICOS Code: 047326A
Key Features:
The Bachelor of Engineering in Telecommunications Engineering focuses on the underlying technologies used in telecommunication systems and on the design and implementation of telecommunication networks. Optional units allow the student to concentrate on one or more aspects of modern telecommunication systems, such as digital and analogue electronics, optical technology and photonics, electromagnetics and wireless systems, signal processing and information coding, computer hardware and software, and telecommunication networks. A range of combined degree programs is also available in science, arts, business administration, and entrepreneurship. 
Suitable For:
This degree is suitable for those who are interested in pursuing a career as a telecommunications engineer. Telecommunications engineers design, build and manage systems that carry out the transmission, processing and storage of information as electrical or optical signals. A wide range of technologies are involved in any telecommunication system. Satellites, radio, telephone cables, and optical fibres all play an important role in transmitting information. Computers are used to process, transform and store information, and to control its flow.  
Career Opportunities:
A broad range of career opportunities exist for engineers from sales, management, technical projects, and research and development. Engineering graduates are recognised for their ability to easily adapt to a broad range of jobs.
