The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Master of Advanced Manufacturing is an integrated five-year dual qualification that combines a professionally accredited undergraduate engineering degree with a postgraduate specialisation in advanced manufacturing. Students typically begin with a common first semester of foundational engineering study before selecting a stream such as Chemical and Sustainable Process, Mechanical, or Medical Engineering, and then progress into master's-level specialisations covering digital and robotic manufacturing or bioprocess engineering. The degree is designed to equip graduates with the skills to lead and implement next-generation manufacturing approaches that are human-centred, resilient, and sustainable, integrating Industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies including automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, digital twins, additive manufacturing, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This qualification is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia (EA) at the Washington Accord level, meaning graduates are recognised internationally as professional engineers able to practise in countries across the globe. The course bridges the gap between conventional engineering foundations and the rapidly evolving world of smart and sustainable production systems, preparing graduates to lead innovation in complex, technology-driven environments. Key employers of graduates span a wide range of sectors including automotive, aerospace, defence, biomedical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical processing, mining, energy, and agricultural manufacturing. Multinational and national companies such as BMW, Boeing, Bosch Australia, and Downer Group actively engage with these programs as industry partners, offering students embedded project experience and pathways into employment.

For undergraduate entry into the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) component, applicants typically need to have completed Year 12 (or equivalent) with a competitive ATAR, along with prerequisite subjects in Mathematics (Mathematical Methods or equivalent) and English. Many Australian institutions require at least a study score or equivalent in a mathematics subject and English for direct entry, and some programs strongly encourage knowledge of Physics. ATARs for advanced manufacturing engineering programs can vary by institution and competitiveness of the intake. Pathway options exist for students who do not meet direct entry requirements, including foundation studies programs, vocational education qualifications (e.g., Certificate IV or Diploma), or associate degrees in engineering technology, which may grant advanced standing into the bachelor component. Some institutions also provide bridging courses in mathematics and science to help students meet prerequisite knowledge requirements. For international students, an IELTS overall score of 6.5 (with a minimum of 6.0 in each subtest) or equivalent English proficiency is typically required. Other accepted qualifications include the International Baccalaureate Diploma with a minimum score of 24 points, or completion of a recognised foundation studies program. For postgraduate entry into a standalone Master of Advanced Manufacturing, applicants generally need a completed Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) or Bachelor of Engineering (minimum four years full-time study) in an approved cognate field from a recognised institution. Relevant professional experience and a strong academic record may also be considered, and some institutions offer advanced standing to applicants with a recognised honours engineering degree.
