Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical)

Electrical engineers are behind the systems and technologies that keep our modern world running—from communication tools and digital devices to medical equipment and large-scale power networks. The Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical) is designed for qualified electrical engineers who want to broaden their expertise and move into more advanced or specialised roles. This programme blends higher-level theoretical study with extensive practical experience through design projects, research work and up to 450 hours of industry placement. With a flexible structure driven by electives, students can focus on areas such as advanced control, renewable energy, distributed power generation, or electrical machine design. Core modules in engineering management and data analytics also help strengthen your project leadership and analytical abilities.

Throughout the degree, students build a strong foundation in key electrical engineering principles before progressing to more specialised topics like modern power system operation, advanced modelling, and renewable energy integration. Depending on your prior study and experience, you may be able to fast-track directly into the second year. Learning takes place across modern facilities in Adelaide City and Mawson Lakes, giving students access to industry-standard equipment and technology. By the final year, you will complete a substantial research project and a capstone design challenge, ensuring you graduate with both the technical depth and professional capabilities needed to excel in the electrical engineering field.
