Telecommunications is leading the information revolution. Developments in multimedia applications, fibre optics, chip and switching technologies are rapidly changing the way we live. To compete effectively in today's global market, professionals need to keep informed of innovative advances in technologies that fundamentally affect the telecommunications industry.

The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Melbourne is renowned for its leadership in education and telecommunications research. In addition to its Masters by research and PhD programs, the Department offers three course designed specifically to give professionals the cutting edge in telecommunications engineering. These courses offer students the opportunity to develop and broaden their understanding of the scientific, technological and management skills necessary to develop a successful career in telecommunications.

The lecturers of the courses are all experts in their fields with years of industrial experience.

The Program includes the following courses:


  1. Master of Telecommunications Engineering by Coursework:
  2. Graduate Diploma in Telecommunications Engineering:
  3. Graduate Certificate in Telecommunications Engineering:


These three courses aim to provide students with the technological and competitive skills needed in the design and engineering of modern telecommunications systems and networks. They will provide students with opportunities to:

  • develop a fundamental understanding the principles of telecommunications engineering
  • develop an understanding of the basic principles underlying the planning and management of telecommunications networks
  • acquire a broad knowledge of telecommunications networks
  • obtain the mathematical and computational skills necessary for the solution of theoretical and practical problems
  • develop analytical, problem solving and design skills applicable to telecommunications engineering
  • develop oral and written communication skills specific to the needs of the telecommunications industry
