About this program

The Master of Advanced Manufacturing with Project Management at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) suits engineers and professionals aiming to deepen their expertise in modern production systems and leadership. Over two years of full-time study in Brisbane, students explore advanced manufacturing processes, lean manufacturing, robotics, automation, and quality assurance. The curriculum blends technical units with project management, allowing students to approach manufacturing challenges with both engineering and organisational perspectives.

This degree is structured as a series of units of study and credit points, following the standard approach in Australian universities. Learners undertake core and elective units, building on advanced technical knowledge and management strategies. The course culminates in a significant project or capstone experience, where students tackle real-world manufacturing issues, often in collaboration with local industries. QUT maintains strong links with Queensland’s manufacturing sector, opening up opportunities for projects and placements that reflect current industry demands.

Expect to develop skills in smart factories, data analytics, supply chain design, and risk management. Project management units highlight planning, execution, and controlling of complex industrial projects. The programme best fits those with a background in engineering or technical fields who seek leadership roles or aim to drive process improvements.

International students meeting the university's English requirements can take advantage of the 48 hour per fortnight work rights during study, and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) upon graduation, useful for entering the local manufacturing workforce. Always check QUT’s official site for the latest details on units, credit points, and entry requirements.
