Telecommunications Engineering
Please check the current students website (Find a unit of study) for up-to-date information on units of study including availability.
The Telecommunications Engineering specialisation explores the design, planning, commissioning and monitoring of complex telecommunications networks and broadcasting equipment.
The discipline of telecommunications engineering is concerned with all aspects of theory and application for a broad range of systems such as telephone and data networks, radio and television broadcasting, satellite and deep space applications.
It is also connected to digital communications, microwaves and antennas, optical communications, the design and manufacture of lasers and optical fibres, signal and information processing, and satellite mobile communications.
