Postgraduate Diploma in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering


General information

The program is intended to appeal both to recent graduates who wish to enhance their first qualification with studies in the area of electrical and computer systems engineering to improve their prospects in this area of sustained employment growth, and to mature students who wish to select units that suit their personal and professional needs as they develop from time to time and in so doing to accumulate credit towards the program over a period of some years.

Course outline and structure

Students must complete 48 credit points of coursework units at postgraduate level (group 2).

Length of course

The minimum length of the course is one year full-time, or the equivalent part-time, post three-year degree. As the course is intended to be a professional development program, there is no maximum duration for completion of studies.

Admission requirements

The normal entry requirement is a three-year bachelors degree or equivalent in a relevant or closely related discipline, eg electrical, electronic, computer systems or communications engineering.

Applicants should note that the demand for this course is expected to exceed the quota of places available and consequently not everyone qualified for entry to the course can be admitted. Applicants are therefore advised to present their cases strongly when applying for admission.

Advanced standing

Advanced standing in the program is available to applicants who hold a suitable postgraduate qualification.
