Eshraghian attended Adelaide High School followed by Gawler High School for years 9 and 10. In year 9, he entered his first Science competition with the project Magic Bell. In year 10, he entered science competition with: History of the Atom. Afterwards, he went to Port Pirie High School in 1962 for his Matriculation year which permitted entry to University and was compulsory for entrance to University. In Port Pirie High School, he was elected as the President of the Science Club.
In 1969, he obtained his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from University of Adelaide. In 1977, Eshraghian completed his M.Eng.Sci, at the university, under Robert Eugene Bogner, with a thesis entitled Vehicle Traffic Monitoring. In 1981, he completed his PhD, under Peter Harold Cole, with a thesis entitled Electromagnetic Traffic Sensing and Surveillance. In 2004, Eshraghian was awarded Doctor of Engineering e.h. (May 2004) by the University of Ulm, Germany for integration of microelectronics with photonics. He was the fourth person that received the award given by the University of Ulm and the very first to a non-German academic.
In 1979, he joined the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the University of Adelaide after spending some 10 years with Philips Research both in Europe and Australia.
