Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science (Power Engineering)

USQ’s Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science (Power Engineering) is ideal if you have a three year engineering degree and you want to extend your knowledge in power engineering. You don’t even need work experience to commence your postgraduate studies in this degree.

If you studied your undergraduate degree in a different area of engineering, this degree will allow you to change your career path and specialise in power engineering.

Through this four unit degree, you will study advanced level of power systems, including power generation, distribution and transmission.

Further study

When you complete your Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science you could take the credit from your studies and go on to complete the Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science. You could even go on to complete the Master of Engineering Science where you will have the opportunity to do a research project and dissertation to apply your formal knowledge to a real world issue.

Career opportunities

Power engineers are at the forefront of alternative power sources such as solar and wind energy. As a power engineering graduate, you will increase your employability in power supply and distribution, power generation, mining, rail and transport, and consultancy.

Professional accreditation

The Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science is not accredited by any professional bodies other than the University of Southern Queensland. It does however provide a pathway to the Master of Engineering Science which is provisionally accredited with Engineers Australia for membership as a graduate Professional Engineer.
