About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) at RMIT University brings together mechanical, electrical, and digital engineering with a focus on manufacturing technology and mechatronic systems. Students learn how to design and improve automated manufacturing processes, gaining practical experience with robotics, automation, smart factories, and Industry 4.0 approaches. Industry links in Melbourne give students opportunities to apply theory through industry projects and engineering challenges informed by real-world needs.

This four-year honours degree follows the standard Australian bachelor (honours) structure. Study is organised into semesters, with students completing units of study that build knowledge across mathematics, control systems, computer-aided design, and manufacturing operations. In their fourth year, students complete a significant engineering project or thesis, applying their skills to a real problem or research question, and have opportunities for industry placements or work-integrated learning.

As they work through the program, students build skills in automation, robotics, system integration, instrumentation, and sustainable manufacturing systems. Professional skills include teamwork, project management, leadership, and effective communication. The course suits students interested in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and the convergence of digital and mechanical technologies.

International students must meet English language requirements, and all students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study. After graduation, eligible international graduates can apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) under the post-study work stream. Confirm full course and visa details on the official RMIT and CRICOS pages.
