Telecommunications Engineering
What is telecommunications engineering?
Telecommunications engineering is the science of designing, implementing and managing telecommunications hardware, software and systems for processing and transmitting information.
Core studies in telecommunications and engineering science are combined with technical elective choices to offer a flexible program that can be tailored to individual interests and specialisations. By the time you graduate you will be familiar with existing technologies as well as being adaptable to the new technologies of the future.

Career opportunities
Telecommunications engineering graduates have excellent employment prospects because they are part of one of the fastest growing IT areas. Some of the areas where you might be employed include:
- Computer networking/internet
- Mobile/wireless communications (the fastest growth area of IT where the roles of telecommunications engineers are vital)
- Telecommunications services
- Broadcasting
- Road traffic informatics
Telecommunications engineers will also find employment in broader areas such as electronic engineering, instrumentation engineering, computer engineering, systems analysis and control engineering. Graduates may also find employment in other areas of ICT (information and communication technology). Employment prospects for graduates are excellent, with strong demand locally and throughout Australia.
The high rate at which our graduates find employment is confirmation that they are highly regarded by industry.
Accreditation
The program is accredited by the Institute of Engineers Australia (trading as Engineers Australia), and affiliated international organisations. This ensures recognition of the qualification throughout Australia and many overseas countries.
