Masters (Coursework)
Engineering offers an exciting future with an increasing demand for graduates globally. With ambitious renewable energy targets being set around the world, there is increasing global demand for skilled senior engineers who can design, manage and maintain new distributed energy grid systems.
The Master of Energy System Management (Professional) focuses on practical and real-world problems that blend project-based and workplace learning.
This professional program extends your knowledge in energy management systems through a unique blend of engineering, IT and science units. With a focus on practical learning, and the opportunity to undertake an industry-based placement, you will graduate career-ready and with the capacity to apply your skills to real-world problems.
Upon graduation, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle problems associated with energy systems that include efficiencies, renewable and alternative solutions, and policy.
Want to develop real-world solutions to global energy challenges?
Deakin's School of Engineering is leading the way in cutting edge research in this area and developing innovative solutions for industry. You will have world-class facilities and equipment at your fingertips with access to Deakin's state-of-the-art engineering precinct and the Geelong Future Economy Precinct (GTP). This is home to the Renewable Energy Microgrid, Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM), Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI), CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering and the Australian Future Fibre Research and Innovation Centre.
Throughout the degree you'll develop unique strengths to work collaboratively in professional teams to develop evidence-based engineering solutions. You will acquire critical-thinking, innovative problem-solving and entrepreneurial skills. These are what employers are looking for to satisfy the growing need for intelligent energy systems and the increasing use of renewable and alternative energy sources in residential and commercial applications.
As a graduate, you'll possess the necessary skills to work as a highly skilled engineer with expertise in Energy System Management. You will be qualified to take responsibility for interpreting technological possibilities for society, business and government. You will help to ensure policy decisions are properly informed, including that costs, risks and limitations are properly understood as the desirable outcomes.
Graduates will be able to take responsibility for interpreting and implementing energy changes for society, business and government, and for ensuring that policy decisions are adequately informed.
These skills would equip graduates to work in specialist roles such as:
* energy manager
* renewable energy engineer
* energy systems engineer
* energy supply consultant.
To complete the Master of Energy System Management (Professional), students must attain 16 credit points, which must include the following:
Students are required to meet the University's academic progress and conduct requirements.
The University aims to provide students with as much credit as possible for approved prior study or informal learning which exceeds the normal entrance requirements for the course and is within the constraints of the course regulations. Students are required to complete a minimum of one-third of the course at Deakin University, or four credit points, whichever is the greater. In the case of certificates, including graduate certificates, a minimum of two credit points within the course must be completed at Deakin.
