Enable 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. Engineering professionals able to support materials innovation are in high demand.

What will you do?

Our Graduate Certificate of Materials Engineering will equip you with high-level knowledge at the real-world interface between materials engineering, chemistry and physics.

The industry-driven content is delivered over six months 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.

You will:

  • work in the 最新糖心Vlog’s state-of-the-art engineering research labs
  • have access to cutting-edge on-campus research and development facilities
  • work alongside world-class materials engineering researchers—including from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Centre for Materials in Energy and Catalysis, and the ARC Research Hub for Graphene Enabled Industry Transformation.

You’ll also be able to take courses in your chosen specialisation: Energy; Quantum; or Optical.

Where could it take you?

You might work with industry partners to develop wide bandgap semiconductors for portable disinfection devices. You could help create a highly insultive, anticorrosive and hydrophobic coating for submarines. Perhaps you’ll synthesise a sustainable substitute for rare-earth elements in mobile phones. You may even wish to continue your studies in a materials engineering graduate diploma or master’s degree.

Limited Commonwealth Supported Places are available in Semester 1 and 2 2021 only.

Careers

Career Readiness

National and global opportunities await materials engineering graduates. Your career may take you from  an office environment to the outdoors, a plant setting or a combination of these. You could contribute your expertise across a variety of areas including:

  • quantum materials that can be used in light emitting diodes (LED) and high energy diodes production
  • energy materials for energy generation and storage (e.g. Li-ion battery, solar-cell, fuel cell, hydrogen production)
  • new catalysts for process intensification
  • semiconductors and microelectronics (e.g. production of computer memory and central processing units, flat screen televisions)
  • optical materials for healthcare and medicine
  • management consulting (e.g. materials engineering business and financial consulting)
  • launch entrepreneurial endeavours in materials engineering.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Careers Service prepares, inspires and empowers students to achieve successful career transitions and connect with industry.
