Master of Electrical Power Engineering
University of Wollongong
About
The Master of Electrical Power Engineering provides the skills and education specific to the needs of the Australian electricity distribution industry.
Taught by nationally recognised industry experts, students gain a better understanding of the design processes and technical requirements for power distribution system engineering.
Subjects are delivered online with an optional one day face-to-face workshop for each subject, which may suit people who are in full-time employment.It is possible to exit the program on successful completion of 24 credit points of study and be awarded the Graduate Certificate in Electrical Power Engineering.
Structure
Students must complete 48 credit points of coursework subjects. Students who have completed the Graduate Certificate in Electrical Power Engineering (1189) cannot retake the same subjects and must complete a unique set of subjects totaling of 48 credit points in the Masters program.
The program is offered on a part-time basis by offered online. The program also offers an optional one day face-to-face workshop for each online subject.
