This two-year master qualification provides students with specialised knowledge and professional engineering skills to prepare them for a career in the broad context of electrical engineering. The program builds on ANU’s interdisciplinary engineering focus and research expertise to give students the required skills to address complex multi-disciplinary problems, while at the same time providing advanced technical knowledge in one or more of the fields of power systems, renewable energy, telecommunications systems and mechatronic systems by including specialised courses in these fields. Students also can select computer science technical courses, breadth courses, and elective courses across the University.

Graduates from ANU have been rated as Australia's most employable graduates and among the most sought after by employers worldwide.

The latest Global Employability University Ranking, published by the Times Higher Education, rated ANU as Australia's top university for getting a job for the fourth year in a row
