About this program

The Master of Engineering (Electronic Engineering) at RMIT University is a two-year postgraduate degree based in Melbourne. This course is structured to develop both advanced technical ability and professional skills in modern electronic engineering. Through a mix of taught units and project work, students explore subjects like embedded systems, wireless communications, sensor networks and microelectronics design.

Across the standard four semesters, students complete individual units of study which carry credit points toward the degree. The curriculum typically includes both core topics and elective options, letting students tailor their course to their interests, whether they prefer analogue electronics, communications or control systems. Students must usually complete a major research project or capstone design assignment as a requirement for graduation, putting theory into practice on a real-world engineering problem.

Industry engagement is a key part of the experience at RMIT, with regular opportunities for work-integrated learning through placements or industry-linked projects. Graduates develop technical proficiency in electronic circuit design, programming embedded devices, signal processing and communications, as well as teamwork, project management and professional communication. This course suits both new engineers and those looking to strengthen or update their expertise for the Australian engineering sector.

International students must meet English proficiency requirements, and can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during sessions. On successful completion, graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream. Prospective students should check the official RMIT and CRICOS pages for admission prerequisites and the most current course information.
