With emerging energy technologies advancing rapidly, students will be prepared to grow and adapt with industry transformations. The School of Engineering's interdisciplinary approach delivers comprehensive coverage, enabling students to acquire specialized technical expertise for addressing modern challenges and opportunities in renewable energy adoption and microgrid distributed systems.
Breakthroughs in renewable energy are accelerating the global energy transition, creating novel career prospects. The Master of Renewable and Future Energy (MRFE) addresses the urgent demand for engineers with cutting-edge renewable energy competencies in this expanding field. Renewable energy knowledge spans multiple domains, including marine energy, biomass conversion, geothermal systems, solar technologies, electric transportation, and microgrid applications. This research is bolstered by Western Australia's increasing implementation of renewable solutions for isolated communities, particularly in smart-grid and microgrid innovations. Students benefit from instruction by internationally recognized experts who share valuable perspectives on energy sector evolution and drive curriculum advancements. MRFE participants gain exclusive access to industry networking events, professional development resources, and connections with a diverse international student community.
To be considered for admission to this course an applicant must have— (a) a UWA Master of Professional Engineering or a Bachelor of Engineering, or an equivalent qualification, as recognised by UWA; and (b) the equivalent of a UWA weighted average mark of at least 50 per cent; and (c) successfully completed prior tertiary study in electrical and electronic engineering, chemical engineering, or mechanical engineering, or in a related cognate discipline as recognised by UWA.
