Program description
From power transmission scales measured in kilometers to the nanometer-thickness of sophisticated electronic circuits, and beyond, electrical and electronic engineering covers it all.
Joining our Electrical and Electronic Engineering major will set you up for success in a wide variety of cutting-edge sectors, including but not limited to: designing electronics that change people's lives, building systems to support businesses or communities, engineering technology to improve human health, or finding sustainable energy solutions.
As you progress through the program, you will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to analyze problems in electrical and electronic systems, circuits, and devices, as well as to build and test such systems. You will also think about the larger system's use case, which includes things like health and safety, sustainability, manufacturability, environmental, social, political, and ethical considerations.

Price
- Tuition fee — 50,900 AUD per year.
A standard full time enrolment of 48 points per year equals 1 EFTSL (1 EFTSL is the Equivalent Full Time Study Load). If you enrol in more or less than 48 credit points per year, your yearly annual fee may be different. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to increase, as outlined in the UWA Acceptance Contract.
Requirements for applicants
To be considered for admission to this course an applicant must have
- achieved an ATAR of at least 75, or equivalent as recognised by UWA or
