Programme Overview
The Master of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (MSc EEE) is a 60-credit postgraduate programme designed to equip graduates and working professionals with the advanced knowledge and practical skills needed for a successful career in the power and energy sector.
The programme offers deep knowledge of modern electrical engineering technologies, coupled with a strong focus on industrial design in power and energy applications. Graduates will acquire both theoretically grounded and practice-oriented skills that are directly relevant to industry needs.
To better support working professionals, the MSc EEE now adopts a flexible, modular structure that allows learners to build their credentials progressively through two stackable Graduate Certificates (GCerts):
- Graduate Certificate in Electrical Engineering Professional Practices
- Graduate Certificate in Electrical Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Learners will complete these GCerts (36 credits) and then select four discipline electives (24 credits) to complete the full MSc programme.
This programme is fully accredited under the Washington Accord by the Engineering Accreditation Board. The accreditation status applies to graduates who have completed both the MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the BEng (Hons) in Electrical Power Engineering.
Note: The ECTS, known as the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, is a credit system designed to facilitate student mobility across countries.
Programme Educational Objectives
Graduates of the programme, after working three to five years, are expected to be:
- Technically competent to solve complex problems in electrical & electronic engineering.
- Able to produce engineering solutions with due consideration to local and global issues in business, ethics, society, community and environment.
- Able to communicate and function effectively as an individual and as a team leader to be catalysts for transformation at the workplace.

- Power Supply Training Centre setup in collaboration with LTA and Meiden
- Hardware-in-loop real-time digital simulator
- High voltage partial discharge testing system
- Power system cyber security digital simulator
- Electrical asset condition monitoring tools and systems
- Electrical power system analysis software
- Various industrial systems housed within the training laboratory at the Energy Efficiency Technology Centre (EETC)
Eligibility
Applicants must possess the following:
- a relevant bachelor’s degree from a recognised university; and
- at least one year of relevant post bachelor’s work experience (including internship experience)
Relevant degrees include:
- BEng (Hons) Electrical Power Engineering degree awarded by Newcastle University (AY2013 to AY2016 intakes); or
