Course Overview

About This Course

Design and build tomorrow's machines and systems from small scale devices to air and spacecraft, with the Master of Mechanical Engineering at Australia's leading university. Turn energy into power and motion, gain skills in mechanical design, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and more.

If you have a relevant undergraduate major, you'll be able to complete the masters degree in 2 years. Once you've started studying, you can specialise in 'Aerospace', 'Business', 'Manufacturing' or 'Materials', or continue without specialising.

Develop advanced mechanical engineering skills, guided by experts in fluid mechanics, turbulence and biomechanics. You'll be learning from researchers who have developed robots with a human touch, low-cost prostheses, 3D printing to create jaws and save hearts and working to improve the efficiency of aircraft.

Apply your skills in internships, industry projects, and innovation challenges with industry mentors. Open doors to engineering careers around the world with dual accreditation in the Master of Engineering. Access cutting-edge laboratories and a heavy engineering workshop for materials testing, engine and turbine testing, wind tunnel investigations and metal forming processing.
