Electronic engineering
Why research Electronic engineering?
Our pure and applied research includes biomedical, communication, control systems, digital signal processing, optical and photonics, semiconductor materials and device research. Recent research has resulted in two patent applications and has been published in international journals and at international conferences.
We are equipped with state-of-the-art computing and instrumentation facilities and we operate from a modern engineering complex. There is an expanding Research and Development Park adjacent to the campus.
Grants support research in the department and outside bodies fund a large part of the program. We are a member of Innovative Research Universities (IRU) Australia, which attracts more than $340 million in annual funding.
We maintain active links with industry so that you can collaborate with the best minds in your field locally and internationally.

How to apply
You can apply for research candidature at any time. However, applications for research scholarships close on 31 October. In addition, a limited number of Bridging Scholarships are available for applicants at other times of the year. Please make enquiries with your prospective supervisor.
To apply for Master's candidature, you need an Honours degree or Master's Preliminary. For Doctoral (PhD) candidature, you need a Master's or a Bachelor's degree with Honours, usually with a result of at least H2A.
Before applying, it's best to contact a potential academic supervisor and receive in-principle approval for your topic.
