Introduction & Career Prospective
The power industry is being deregulated world-wide and power engineers need to have a knowledge of both power engineering and market issues to provide a linkage between engineers and economists/accountants. The Master of Engineering in Electricity Market provides these skills, and graduates of this program will find opportunities in both Australia and around the world to work not only with traditional power companies but also with consulting firms and government agencies that provide services for the broader energy market.
Students enrolled in this program can choose from Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master of Engineering in Electricity Market.
