or related area, is possible.
Advanced Standing
Candidates with an Honours Bachelor degree at a standard
of Class II, Division 2 or higher, or a Master of Engineering
Studies degree with satisfactory completion of ECTE953 a weighted average mark of 67.5% or higher
in computer, electrical, or telecommunications engineering
or related area, or equivalent, may be given exemption from
all, or some, of the 24 credit points of coursework. This
would be contingent on evidence of considerable research strength.

in consultation with the School Postgraduate Research Committee,
to constitute a coherent introduction to the proposed area
of research; and
- subject to students gaining a weighted average mark of
67.5% for the coursework, a 48 credit point thesis subject.
Candidates who fail to meet the requisite standard for the
