About this program

The Master of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) at RMIT University lets students build advanced technical skills in fields such as power systems, control engineering, automation, and telecommunications. The course explores circuit design, embedded systems, renewable energy technologies, and signal processing. Expect a strong mix of theory and hands-on experience, reflecting industry practice in Australia.

This is a two-year, full-time master's degree structured around units of study, each carrying a set number of credit points that count toward the degree. Students usually complete coursework across four semesters, with the opportunity to undertake a significant research project or capstone in the final year. This project or thesis helps bring together knowledge and practical abilities, and often involves working with real-world industry challenges.

Practical skills are a core focus, with many students taking part in work-integrated learning or professional placement. RMIT has strong links with engineering firms across Melbourne and Victoria, which means students may get the chance to spend time in Australian industry settings. The degree suits those with an existing background in electrical or electronic engineering, or closely related fields, who want to develop advanced expertise or move into more senior or specialised engineering roles.

If you're planning to work in Australia after graduation, the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream may be an option, and during your studies you can usually work up to 48 hours per fortnight. RMIT encourages students to confirm course structure, English requirements, and credit points directly on the official course page.
