The Master of Engineering Science (Electrical and Electronic) is a 72 unit program offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
The Master of Engineering Science (Electrical and Electronic) articulates with the 36 unit Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science (specialisation in Electronic Engineering - E1-E3).
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 (Electronics) degree. Such a transfer can be done after completing at least one year of study with an average grade of credit or higher.
The admission requirements for the award are one of the following:
In addition, whatever qualification is held, students are expected to be able to demonstrate previous study or recognised prior learning in communication and planning skills, mathematics (equivalent to first year university mathematics) and science (equivalent to university undergraduate topics in chemistry and physics). Previous study in programming and computing fundamentals is also assumed.
Students who have completed the Flinders University Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science (specialisation in Electronic Engineering - E1-E3) will be eligible for 36 units of credit.
Students who have completed a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree may receive up to 18 units of credit towards the Master's degree. This credit will be calculated on a like-for-like topic basis.
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 Director of Studies regarding their program of study.

*The option topic from Table A must be selected from those labelled as electronics engineering (Group E), electrical engineering (Group L), robotics (Group R) or computer and network systems engineering (Group Y).
**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 Director of Studies.
***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 their Director of Studies. 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.
