The Master of Engineering Science (Electrical and Electronic) is a 72 unit program offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
The course articulates with the 36 unit Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science (major in Electrical and Electronic Engineering) and the sequentially developed topics allows progression through the awards.
In addition to being taken as a stand-alone degree, it can also be used as a pathway by graduates without an engineering degree to the University's accredited Master of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) degree. Such a transfer can be done after completing at least one year of study with an average grade of credit or higher.
Applicants must normally hold:
A knowledge of mathematics (equivalent to first-year university mathematics), science (equivalent to a university undergraduate topic in physics), programming and computing fundamentals is assumed.
However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
The course provides graduates with:
The course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
On completion of the award, students will be able to:
To qualify for the Master of Engineering Science (Electrical and Electronic), a student must complete 72 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
Students who have completed 36 units with a grade of credit or higher will be eligible to transfer to the Master of Engineering (Electronics).
The topics selected depend on the entry qualifications. Students must consult with the Course Coordinator regarding their program of study.

*Students who have completed an engineering degree may undertake an alternative program of study. Students who complete this alternative program of study with an average grade of credit or higher will be able to transfer to the Master of Engineering (Electronics) and complete in 2 years. Students should discuss their program with the Course Coordinator.
**For students who have achieved an average grade of credit or higher at the end of Year 1, an alternative second year program that includes an 18 unit Masters thesis and advanced coursework is available that will facilitate entry to a postgraduate research degree. Students are advised to discuss an alternative program of study with the Course Coordinator. Note that students who wish to use their masters qualification to satisfy entry into a Flinders University research higher degree program are required to complete an 18 unit thesis.
