The Master of Engineering in Robotics, Automation and Control at the Australian National University is an advanced coursework degree designed to equip students with the specialised skills required in robotics engineering, automation, and control systems. Over two years of full-time study, students engage with a curriculum that integrates fundamental theory with applied learning, covering topics such as intelligent systems, autonomous robots, advanced control theory, sensor technologies, and automation strategies. The programme also encourages the development of expertise in programming, systems integration, and project management, all situated within the context of rapidly evolving technological industries in Australia and globally.
This master's degree is structured through a series of units of study that collectively accrue credit points toward the qualification. Students generally complete a combination of core units, electives, and a capstone project or research thesis, enabling them to tailor their learning journey to their interests and career aspirations. The capstone project, often industry-linked or research-based, provides hands-on experience in solving real-world problems, an approach that is highly valued by employers. Work-integrated learning or professional placements may be available, allowing students to build connections with industry partners based in Canberra and across Australia.
The programme fosters competencies in mechatronics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, system modelling and simulation, and advanced automation, all backed by practical skills in experimentation, teamwork, and technical communication. It is ideal for graduates of engineering or science seeking to specialise further, as well as professionals from related fields who wish to deepen their capabilities and progress to leadership or research roles in robotics and automation.
The Australian context enhances students' experience through links with national innovation hubs, government agencies, and leading technology firms. ANU’s location in Canberra allows students access to a strong network of expertise and potential employers. International students will need to demonstrate English proficiency, as outlined by the university, and may be eligible to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during their studies. Upon graduation, eligibility for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) may allow for further post-study work opportunities in Australia. Applicants should always confirm programme details on the official university page.
It typically takes 2 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$113,760 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
