Coursework programs
Postgraduate Diploma in Electronic Engineering – Melbourne (Bundoora) (SPEE)
This course has been designed for individuals wanting to update their skills in one of the four areas (biomedical, communication/telecommunication, electronic systems, or optical engineering) offered in the course. The course consists of one year of full-time study or its part-time equivalent.
For candidates with a four year degree in engineering or science (with an electronics major), the course provides a means to keep up with state-of-the-art developments in these specialist areas. Alternatively this course offers the opportunity for candidates with three year qualifications (such as BSc, or Btech) to prepare for higher degree study in the Master of Electronic Engineering or Master of Telecommunications Engineering by coursework degrees, or the Master of Engineering by Research degree.
Admission requirements
Applicants should hold a Bachelor’s degree (three year minimum) in a relevant area.
