About this program

The Master of Engineering (Mechatronic) at Adelaide University brings together mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering. Students examine robotics, automation, and control systems used across advanced manufacturing and industries in Australia. The course covers essential areas like sensors and actuators, embedded systems, computer-aided design, and intelligent control. During classes and labs, students practise designing and programming smart devices and integrated machines.

Australian master's degrees like this one are structured over two years of full-time study. The program consists of a series of required and elective units of study, measured in credit points. Students progress through specialised coursework before completing a capstone project, which may involve research or practical design work, sometimes in partnership with local industry. Some units may include work-integrated learning, giving students exposure to professional settings.

Graduates gain strong technical and problem-solving skills in mechatronic system design and integration, as well as teamwork and project management. These capabilities match needs in sectors like automotive, defence, medical technology, mining, and advanced manufacturing.

This course suits those with an engineering background who want to develop expertise in automation and intelligent machines. Entry typically requires prior studies in engineering or a closely related field. International students must meet the university’s English proficiency requirements.
