Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Communication Engineering) (Honours) / Bachelor of Computer Science

The next generation of telecommunications systems are become more and more software definable. Graduating with a broader knowledge of telecommunications engineering and computer science will make you a world class expert in this field.

Telecommunications systems can employ a wide range of technologies, including broadband optical fibre communication systems, wireless communication systems (such as 4G/5G mobile and WiFi), the Internet, cable systems and satellite communications.

Your studies in this area will develop knowledge and skills to design, build and manage systems that transfer, store and manage information via wireless, cable, optical fibre, and satellite communications. In your fourth and fifth years you’ll be able to specialise in either communication engineering or network engineering.

In the computer science component of this double degree, you’ll gain extensive knowledge of computer systems infrastructure, software methods and technologies. You’ll also gain advanced knowledge and skills in developing network-based real-life computing applications.

This course is taught by experts in their fields. Laboratory experiments are used to consolidate theories, and a strong focus on design and research ensures our graduates are highly skilled professionals.

You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.
