The School comprises several discipline areas, indicating shared research interests and teaching commitments: Telecommunications; Photonics; Energy Systems; Microelectronics; Systems and Control. Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications has close links with the pure sciences and mathematics. Its technology is changing rapidly and the School's teaching and research programs are constantly being updated to meet the ever-changing challenges of present and future needs.
The School offers graduate training in all branches of the professions of electrical engineering and telecommunications. The degree programs are accredited by the Institution of Engineers, Australia, as meeting the requirements for admission to graduate membership. The School is also associated with the Australian Photonics Cooperative Research Centre which conducts research into optical fibre communication devices and technology.
Entry into this Master's program requires the completion of a 4-year non-accredited (under the Washington Accord) Bachelor of Engineering degree in the area of electrical or telecommunications engineering, or equivalent. Alternatively, eligible applicants include those who hold a 3-year Engineering Science degree in electrical or telecommunications engineering, at least equivalent to the first three years of an Electrical of Telecommunications Engineering degree accredited under the Washington accord. A minimum overall average of at least 65%, or equivalent, over the duration of the qualifying Bachelor’s degree is also required. A pathway for entry into the program for graduates from both 4-year Bachelor of Engineering degrees in other disciplines, and 3-year Bachelor of Science degrees, exists via enrolment first into the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) program in Electrical Engineering or Telecommunications, where advanced standing (to a maximum of 2 years) may be granted.
The Faculty of Engineering offers a two year Masters Degree program. It is anticipated that the two year Masters program will be professionally accredited by Engineers Australia (currently provisionally accredited).
The program comprises an Electrical stream ELECAS8621 or Telecommunications stream TELEA8621, leading to a Master of Electrical Engineering or Telecommunications. Flexibility and choice are maintained throughout the two year program by providing many elective courses. It serves as an entry point for students to move into the engineering profession.
Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles to developing technologies and solving problems in a diverse range of health care related fields e.g. implantable bionics, drug delivery systems, medical imaging, radiotherapies, orthopedic devices, telemedicine, robotic surgery, cell and tissue engineering, records management, physical rehabilitation and others.
This Graduate Diploma program provides graduates with opportunities to extend their professional knowledge. Candidates may undertake interdisciplinary studies and, subject to approval, are able to take courses from any school in the Engineering Faculty, other Faculties of the University and other universities or institutions. Consequently, study programs may be constructed to best suit to the individual needs of particular candidates.
The minimum entry requirement of this program is a four-year Honours degree (or equivalent) with a minimum weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 in one of the following disciplines:
?Materials Science and Engineering
?Chemical Engineering
?Mechanical Engineering
?Mining Engineering
?Civil Engineering
?Physics
?Chemistry
?Biomedical Science
Students with overseas qualifications should demonstrate the attainment of knowledge and skills equivalent to those achieved by students completing an Honours degree in Australia by providing evidence of courses completed in their undergraduate degree and details of an independent or directed research project and/or thesis.
Note: The Master Science and Technology program in Engineering Materials (8715) will not be offered from Semester 2 2015 onwards. Prospective students are encouraged to consider the Master of Materials Technology (8717)

The Master of Science and Technolog惘?
In order to be admitted to a program a student would be expected to hold a 4-year Bachelor of Engineering with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline or an equivalent qualification from a recognised university or tertiary institution.
Those without such a qualification are required to argue their prior learning is equivalent to this qualification. For example, a 3- or 4-year Bachelor of Engineering or Science combined with relevant discipline experience (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant to be decided by each specialisation) may be recognised.
The Graduate Certificate of Engineering Science program is designed for engineers and graduates wishing to develop and expand their knowledge and skills in their current area of expertise.* This will enable students to meet or maintain professional accreditation standards and to provide opportunities for continuing professional development, as well as the opportunity to interact with those at the cutting edge of their discipline.
1. A candidate for the degree shall have been awarded an appropriate degree of Bachelor with Honours from the University of New South Wales or a qualification considered equivalent, from this, another university or tertiary institution at a level acceptable to the Committee.
2. In exceptional cases an applicant who submits evidence of such other academic and professional qualifications as may be approved by the Committee may be permitted to enrol for the degree.

The Master of Design (Honours) is a two year full-time, or four year part-time, program in design research where candidates nominate a research thesis/project focusing on Graphics/Media Design, Environments/Spatial Design, Applied/Object Design, Integrated Design, Design Management, or Design History/Theory. The degree is aimed at providing candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate mastery in their approved area of research in design through investigation of the theoretical underpinnings of design process, practice and/or product. The program requires research resulting in a written thesis and/or studio project.
