The Master of Engineering Science (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) at Swinburne University of Technology is designed for engineers and technologists seeking to develop specialist expertise in advanced manufacturing within the Australian context. The programme explores cutting-edge manufacturing methods, digital and automated systems, industrial robotics, process optimisation, materials selection, and the integration of smart technologies into manufacturing environments. It combines theoretical learning with practical application, enabling graduates to respond to the changing needs of Australian industry and global markets.
This master's degree is structured over two years of full-time study, typically comprising a series of core and elective units of study, each contributing to the total credit points required for completion. Students will collaborate on problem-based projects and may have the opportunity to participate in work-integrated learning initiatives, where exposure to real-world engineering challenges in industry settings is encouraged. The course often includes a capstone project or minor thesis, allowing students to address substantial manufacturing problems or research questions relevant to the Australian advanced manufacturing sector.
Graduates develop skills in process design, quality assurance, manufacturing automation, and systems engineering. Strong emphasis is placed on analytical thinking, practical solutions, project management, and leadership for innovation. The course suits recent engineering graduates and practising professionals looking to upskill or transition into roles driving advanced manufacturing technologies and digital transformation in Australia’s manufacturing landscape.
International students are welcome, provided English proficiency requirements are met. Students are eligible to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during semester and, upon completion, may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream. For specific unit details, credit points, and up-to-date structure, confirm on the official Swinburne website.
It typically takes 2 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
