Diploma in Engineering (Electrical) (Level 6)

Fiji National University's Diploma in Engineering (Electrical) (Level 6) runs three years in total, with students typically finishing the classroom component in about two and a half years before a mandatory half-year industrial placement. It prepares graduates for middle-level, para-professional engineering roles specialising in electrical technology, spanning installation, troubleshooting and design work at the engineering-associate end of the profession through to technician-level roles, with typical job titles including technical officer, technician engineer and senior technician engineering associate. Teaching emphasises applying scientific and mathematical principles in practice rather than abstract theory, preparing students for hands-on work in the electrical field. Entry requires a pass in the Fiji Year 12 Certificate Examination with 200 out of 400 marks and at least 50 percent in English, Mathematics, and Physics, Technical Drawing or Applied Technology plus a further subject, with equivalent regional or international results considered case by case; completion of a Certificate IV in Electrical Engineering, or the Level 4 Certificate in Electrical Engineering, also qualifies for entry.
