Are you ready to start your Master of Engineering journey?
Materials engineering
Design windows that generate electricity and let light through. Produce replacement bones and custom equipment for athletes using 3D printing. Work alongside industry partners to develop corrosion-resistant steel pipes.
You’ll redesign existing materials – or create entirely new ones – to make stronger, lighter, cheaper and more sustainable products.
Collaborate across disciplines, solve complex problems and enhance material properties to design fit-for-purpose products
You’ll delve into areas like polymeric materials, renewable energy production and storage, durability, biomaterials and biomechanics, additive manufacturing and sustainability.
See how cutting-edge materials are reshaping industries. From 3D-printed jet engines that fast track production and more efficient solar panels, to antimicrobial therapeutics that fight bacteria and biodegradable tissue scaffolds.
Materials engineers prepare and enhance the materials of today to meet the demands of tomorrow.
You need to satisfy the following entrance requirements to be considered for entry to this course.
Minimum Entry Requirements
Qualifications
An Australian Bachelor of Engineering* degree (or equivalent) in a discipline relating to the specialisation to be studied within the Master course as approved by the Faculty, with at least high credit (65%) average.
*equivalent to an Australian 4 year Bachelor of Engineering degree.
Please note: the Engineering management, Renewable energy engineering and Smart manufacturing engineering specialisations are available to applicants with an Australian Bachelor of Engineering in any discipline, excluding Software engineering. For other Master's specialisations, the prior qualification must be in a related discipline.

Other costs and fees
For information on other study costs and fees, see other study costs.
My research project is on additive manufacturing (or commonly known as 3D printing) of titanium orthopaedic implants integrated with complicated porous meshes. The aim is to speed up the process of designing and manufacturing patient-specific implants so that the implant is ready within a few hours as soon as the patient is registered into a hospital.”

Careers in Materials engineering
Material engineers are problem solvers at their core and closely collaborate with other specialists – like chemists, physicists and biologists – to design fit-for-purpose solutions. Demand for materials engineers remains high and in this multidisciplinary field you might:
- Refine tissue engineering to repair damaged organs
- Design smart fabrics that act as a sensor to control vehicles
- Apply 3D bioprinting to generate living tissue for personalised treatments
- Develop lighter, stronger materials for flight and space travel
- Work with bioscientists to detect drugs and toxins
- Create nanoparticles that seek out and destroy cancer
