Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with the degree of Bachelor of Commerce with a stream in Electrical Engineering

This stream will provide you with the unique combination of skills you’ll need to design and operate future electrical energy systems within the context of existing electric power systems. Career opportunities include existing electricity distribution and supply companies, industries providing small- to medium-scale electricity supply and management systems, and the emerging transport electrification industry.

Energy technology and systems are currently undergoing a rapid transition. The demand for renewable energy generation and storage, and the use of sophisticated information technology for monitoring and management, has never been greater. This rapidly evolving environment presents unique opportunities for highly skilled electrical engineers, as it is they who will facilitate the transition of society to more sustainable energy systems.

Key Features

• You’ll learn about the fundamentals of energy systems, power electronics and electrical machines, and develop the skills required to design and build the systems that generate and use electrical energy.
• You’ll learn how to predict the real-world performance of electrical systems and understand how electrical engineering can help tackle global environmental challenges.
• You’ll have opportunities to take advantage of our strong industry partnerships with major companies such as BAE Systems, Cochlear, Optus and Honeywell, which are located close to the University in one of Australia’s leading high-technology precincts

What You'll Study

Part of what makes Macquarie future focused is that we allow you the freedom to explore your interests across a range of areas, rather than lock you in to a single, narrow field. So follow your passions and tailor your course to your needs and interests.

Units

Units are what we call subjects. Most full-time students take four units – each worth a fixed number of credit points – per session.

Entry Requirements

For students from overseas, Macquarie uses an international selection rank to determine the minimum eligibility requirement for each undergraduate course. This rank has been converted into equivalent scores for various recognised international high school qualifications and university entrance examinations, including global qualifications like the International Baccalaureate (IB) and GCE A-Levels.

English Language Requirements

All applicants for undergraduate coursework studies at Macquarie University are required to provide evidence of proficiency in English.

You may satisfy the English language requirements if you have completed:

• Senior secondary studies equivalent to the NSW HSC
• One year of Australian or comparable tertiary study in a country of qualification

Alternative entry

At Macquarie, we are all about success. With our International Academic Entry Program, we recognise your individual strengths, interests, and personal circumstances. If you have not achieved the overall score required for your program, but demonstrate particular strength in relevant subjects, we may consider you for alternative entry.
