Welcome to UNSW School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications

The UNSW School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications is one of the largest and most prestigious schools of its kind in Australia.

In the last 70 years, our school has grown out of a purely teaching institution to one which has made important contributions to the development of electrical engineering in Australia and globally.

Much of our history describes what we've done to establish and maintain itself in this position. Our teaching is driven by a complex process that involves considering industry requirements and best practice in other institutions. It also includes inputs from accrediting bodies and from the school’s own researchers to identify the knowledge that new graduates need to contribute to the future of electrical engineering and telecommunications. The content of core subjects is modified and new electives are introduced. Laboratories are regularly re-equipped and redesigned. New teaching methods are also constantly being tested.

Our people

Our academic, professional and technical staff are experts in these fields and share research interests and teaching commitments across all five disciplines.
