Aim

This program provides graduates in information technology oriented engineering disciplines with an advanced understanding of the current practice and technology in one of the following streams:
Computer Systems Engineering
Electrical Power Engineering
Microsystems Technology
Systems Engineering
Telecommunications
Test and Evaluation
In addition, a general stream is available without a specialisation.

Entry requirements

Applicants would normally have completed a degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent qualification. Entry is competitive and experience in engineering and information technology and completion of professional qualifications will be taken into account.
