Course description
What is the Advanced Diploma of Electronics Engineering?
This course develops a range of high level skills focused on the design of electronic circuits,
prototyping, testing, computer aided design, installing and commissioning electronic systems and
project management in the electronics field. Graduates are in high demand in the electronics
industry and command excellent salaries at the Technical Officer and Engineering Assistant level.
How is the course structured?
The Advanced Diploma of Electronics and Communications Engineering course is run over 2
years for full-time students.
Part Time Study
Students can study toward the Advanced Diploma of Electronics and Communications Engineering
part-time during the day or evening.
What are the Course Entry Requirements?
Applicants must have completed Year 11 or be mature age entry.
