A Master in Engineering Telecommunications could lead to jobs like these:
This course is designed by a team of experienced industry professionals. It will extend your knowledge giving you the edge you need for a successful career in telecommunications and networking.
You’ll learn about the planning, design, implementation, management and maintenance of telecommunication systems and networks.
An essential part of the course is hands-on work with the latest hardware and software. You’ll get to choose from a broad range of electives in IT, computer networking, systems analysis and security.
This course encourages innovation and creativity. You’ll learn to investigate problems, follow your instincts and work with others on learning challenges. And you’ll graduate ready to take on a range of roles in industry.
The Master of Engineering (Telecommunications) is fully accredited by Engineers Australia at the Professional Engineers level. Graduates of this program are eligible for membership at the Professional level of Engineers Australia according to the Washington Accord.
Your engineering accreditation is recognised around the world in countries that are signatories of the Washington Accord . Other countries also are likely to recognise the Washington Accord qualification as the highest engineering accreditation than the accord, but it is not guaranteed.
MIT’s courses are accredited by TEQSA Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency. TEQSA is Australia’s independent national quality assurance and regulatory agency for higher education in Australia
Each unit consists of 20 credit points. A full-time study load is 60 credit points per Trimester. MEng(Tel) comprises ten core units and two electives. Electives are at Level 5 or 6 (Advanced Study).
This study plan may change according to unit availability, credit transfers or Recognition of Prior Learning.
As part of the Master of Engineering (Telecommunication) degree, you’ll have access to the Work Integrated Learning unit and two Project Units:
MIT’s School of IT & Engineering has designed these units to provide you with real-world experience, working for an industry client.
The Industry Experience unit involves twelve weeks (full-time) or 24 weeks (part-time) industry placement.
The additional two project units provide you with a capstone final year project in a team environment through research, analysis and development in the telecommunications industry.
You’ll learn to tackle complex real-world problems using technical and creative skills.
A crucial part of Master of Engineering (Telecommunication) is the Work Integrated Learning component through the unit ME700 . This allows students to put their theoretical knowledge into practice in a real workplace. We offer a wide range of industry partnerships to give students access to a range of employers.
This is a mandatory component for awarding of the degree. Students are required to undertake Industry Placement of twelve weeks (full-time) or 24 weeks (part-time).
If a third party is required to find the placement, a fee of up to $2,500 (currently) will incur - for which the student is responsible. This industry experience is designed to meet Engineers Australia accreditation requirements.
