About Degree
Lead industry’s material progress
Investment in the advanced materials market is expanding the world over—in the space industry, medical technologies, defence, manufacturing, energy, telecommunications and more. Experts with the advanced capabilities to lead discoveries in materials engineering are in high demand.
What will you do?
Our Master of Materials Engineering will equip you with high-level knowledge—and practical research skills—in emerging materials engineering disciplines.
The industry-driven content is delivered over two years full-time, through a flexible blend of online and intensive face-to-face learning; and if you’re currently employed full-time and looking to upskill, you can make the study fit you by taking courses individually or combined as a graduate diploma or certificate.
You will:
- work in the University’s state-of-the-art engineering research labs
- have access to cutting-edge on-campus research and development facilities
- be mentored by world-class materials engineering researchers—including from the University of APSB Centre for Materials in Energy and Catalysis, and the ARC Research Hub for Graphene Enabled Industry Transformation.
You’ll also be able to take specialist courses in your chosen major: Energy; Quantum; or Optical. And you’ll apply and expand your learning through a major research project supervised by leading APSB engineers and scientists.
Where could it take you?
You could enable smaller, more energy dense batteries. You might allow creation of a high-agility suit for more productive spacewalks. Perhaps your innovation will lead to the conversion of sunlight into transportable fuels to power our cars and society. You may even wish to continue your studies in a materials engineering PhD.
