It is also intended to permit recent graduates, usually from other universities, to enhance their first qualification with studies in biomedical engineering to improve their prospects in this area of sustained employment growth. Master of Engineering Science by Research. The Master of Engineering Science is the initial postgraduate research degree offered by the Department. Candidates commencing this degree often convert to the Doctor of Philosophy degree after one year of study. As with the Doctor of Philosophy there are a very wide range of project topics available at any time in the general areas of computer systems and software engineering, control engineering, electronics, telecommunications engineering, electrical power systems, biomedical engineering and robotics.
Electrical engineering is among the most rapidly developing areas of knowledge.
The Master of Engineering Science is usually completed by research only at the Clayton Campus. Under exceptional circumstances the programme may be conducted by external candidature. Doctor of Philosophy. The Doctor of Philosophy is currently the highest degree offered by the Department. There are a very wide range of topics available at any time in the general areas of biomedical engineering , computer systems and software engineering , control engineering , electronics , telecommunications engineering , electrical power systems and robotics .
