Bachelor of Engineering - Telecommunications

The future presents significant challenges to those responsible for managing the environment, infrastructure and technological developments. Effective solutions to these challenges will require innovative engineering, applied science and design strategies. At the University of Western Sydney, we prepare students to take on those challenges and succeed.

The UWS Engineering Program is all about the application of knowledge to achieve practical outcomes. It covers all major engineering domains, and you can experience many facets of engineering before deciding your area of specialisation at the end of first year.

The Telecommunications specialisation emphasises the hardware issues related to telecommunications, including digital systems, antenna design, communication hardware, data transfer and management, and signal processing.

Part time-study is only available to local students and is generally completed by day classes as there are limited night classes.

A Career in Telecommunications Engineering

The UWS Engineering Program gives you professional skills and knowledge in specialisations of great demand. As a Telecommunications Engineer your career would be concerned with the transmission of data. For example, developing ways for the speech- and hearing-impaired to be able to talk, working in communications offices, designing computer communications solutions, working on intercontinental communications issues.
