Quantum engineering
Prepare for a future at the forefront of innovation with quantum engineering.
Create and design new materials to build next-generation quantum technology, from computing hardware and medical imaging sensors to secure data protection devices.
Find out what's next for quantum engineers, and learn the skills for a career in this new and rapidly expanding field.
Quantum technology is moving out of the lab and into the real world. You'll learn from Monash's engineering expert academics, apply what you learn in hands-on labs, and build real devices.
You will study new quantum materials and learn how they behave at the smallest scale. You'll explore hardware for quantum computers, using photonic or superconducting materials. Design sensors used in medical scans, and help make communication networks more robust.
Learn about quantum materials and the tools used to study them, covering electronic and photonic materials, plus magnetic and spintronic materials. You'll learn nanofabrication: how to build tiny devices. And study the theory that links classical physics to quantum physics.
Governments and companies around the world are investing in quantum technology. They need engineers who can turn quantum science into real machines. This course will show you how.
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.

Careers in Quantum Engineering
Countries around the world are investing heavily in quantum technology, including Australia, China, the U.S., European Union and Singapore. Demand for engineers who can build real quantum hardware is growing fast, which means more career options for you.
You could:
- Design and build quantum devices for computers and communication systems
- Study new quantum materials to make devices work better
- Build sensors for medical scans, precise measurements or navigation
- Build photonic parts for safer communication networks
- Do materials research in industry or at a university
- Help turn quantum hardware from a lab prototype into a real product
