The Master of Systems Engineering is for students who want to develop a high-level understanding of the principles and practices of systems engineering and their implementation through the design, development and application phases. As well as the standalone degree, you can specialise in electronic warfare, networking, space systems, test and evaluation, weapons and ordnance, marine engineering, simulation and reliability engineering.

As the world becomes more interconnected, and the systems on which we depend become increasingly complex, systems engineers will be highly sought after. The systems engineering process coordinates and leads the translation of operational needs into a system designed to meet that need. It is a forward-thinking process that transcends software, electrical, and mechanical engineering. It focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems throughout their life cycles, coordinating performance, cost, and schedule goals. 

The Master of Systems Engineering at UNSW Canberra is designed for postgraduate students who wish to develop a high-level understanding of the principles that shape systems engineering and their implementation through the design, development and application phases. This course will provide you with in-demand skills and experience in analysing, designing and managing complex projects with the opportunity to specialise in a specific engineering discipline.
