Engineering Science (Power Engineering)

If you want to become a Professional Power Engineer, and have a 3 year engineering degree but no work experience, the Master of Engineering Science (Power Engineering) will get you there.

Throughout the degree there is an emphasis on practical experience and preparing you thoroughly for the engineering profession. In addition to the hands-on laboratory sessions and 60 days industry experience, you will complete a research project and dissertation applying all your formal knowledge to a real world problem. Whether this is smart grids for future electricity distribution or the capture of solar energy, your project will provide insight to the profession of a Power Engineer.

The research project and dissertation can also be a stepping stone to further research degrees, such as PhD.
