与工程科学研究生文凭课程下的所有课程一样，能源系统专业知识的获得是获得学科和高级学科知识的基础。在能源和电力系统工程领域，该课程提供了广泛的基于理论和应用的选修课，包括智能电网，可再生能源工程的电力电子技术，电力系统分析和保护，高压工程，电力系统规划和经济性和电气安全性。这样的选择可以使学生获得跨多个主题的知识的深度和广度。
As with all streams under the Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science, the Energy Systems specialisation is underpinned by the attainment of disciplinary and advanced disciplinary knowledge. This stream offers a broad range of theoretical- and applications-based electives within the discipline of energy and power systems engineering, including smart-grids, power electronics for renewable energy engineering, power system analysis and protection, high voltage engineering, power systems planning and economics, and electrical safety. Such a choice allows students the gain a depth and breadth of knowledge across several themes. The stream provides a solid postgraduate program for electrical engineers wishing to upgrade their skills or further their knowledge.
