About this program

The Master of Materials and Manufacturing Engineering (Professional) at the University of Queensland equips students with advanced technical knowledge and practical skills in materials science and engineering. Over a two-year period, the programme is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of materials properties, processing methods, and manufacturing techniques. Students engage with a curriculum structured around a series of units of study that contribute to the development of critical thinking and innovative problem-solving skills in engineering contexts.

This master’s degree follows the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) standard for a master's level, consisting of two years of full-time study. Students are required to complete various units of study that accumulate credit points, culminating in a capstone project that applies theoretical knowledge to practical challenges in the field. Additionally, the programme integrates work-integrated learning opportunities, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in real-world engineering environments, enhancing their employability upon graduation.

Throughout the course, students will develop essential skills such as project management, teamwork, and advanced analytical capabilities. The focus on contemporary materials applications ensures that graduates are well-prepared to tackle global challenges in manufacturing and materials engineering. This programme is particularly suited for those looking to specialise further in engineering with a focus on research and applied technologies, and for international students seeking to expand their professional horizons in Australia's robust engineering sector.
