Telecommunication Engineering
Telecommunication Engineering at Swinburne
Telecommunication engineers are capable of developing sophisticated systems such as cellular mobile communication networks, broadband multimedia computer networks, as well as radio and television broadcasting systems. The continued growth in internet and multimedia services is fuelling employment opportunities for telecommunications professionals. Furthermore, the national broadband network rollout, expected to be Australia’s biggest infrastructure project, will provide even more employment opportunities in this new and challenging field for skilled telecommunication and network engineers.
Research
Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures (CAIA)
The Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures (CAIA) is the research companion to our coursework programs. CAIA's research focus covers the industrially relevant areas of broadband IP access architectures, IP network resilience and security as well as IP mobility. We offer research programs leading to Masters and PhD degrees supervised by research-qualified academic staff affiliated with CAIA.
Courses
Engineering graduates are highly sought after for their problem-solving and solution-development skills. Courses may be studied at either undergraduate or postgraduate level.
Our primary course is the Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunications and Network Engineering), a 4-year undergraduate degree with an optional, highly valued Industry Based Learning (IBL) year. Students also have the opportunity to study a double degree with Computer Science and Software Engineering. This double degree offers the most comprehensive combination of studies in computer hardware, telecommunications and software engineering, making graduates highly regarded technical experts in their field.
We also offer the Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology (Network Design and Security), a networking-oriented 3-year undergraduate degree that is excellent for people without the background in mathematics required for Engineering.
Postgraduate coursework qualifications are also available in Network Systems for people wishing to supplement their skills in an industrially-recognised manner.
