Lead 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. Experts with the advanced capabilities to lead discoveries in materials engineering are in high demand.

What will you do?

Our Master of Materials Engineering will equip you with high-level knowledge—and practical research skills—in emerging materials engineering disciplines.

The industry-driven content is delivered over two years 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 as a graduate diploma or certificate.

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
  • be mentored by 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 specialist courses in your chosen major: Energy; Quantum; or Optical. And you’ll apply and expand your learning through a major research project supervised by leading Adelaide engineers and scientists.

Where could it take you?

You could enable smaller, more energy dense batteries. You might allow creation of a high-agility suit for more productive spacewalks. Perhaps your innovation will lead to the conversion of sunlight into transportable fuels to power our cars and society. You may even wish to continue your studies in a materials engineering PhD.


  • Undertake a major research project supervised by world-class academic staff
  • Learn in our high-quality research facilities and specialist laboratories
  • Take specialist courses in your chosen major: Energy; Quantum; or Optical

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
  • advanced materials for energy generation and storage (e.g. Li-ion battery, solar-cell, fuel cell, hydrogen production)
  • new catalysts for process intensification (e.g. ammonia production, carbon dioxide reduction, hydrogen generation)
  • semiconductors and microelectronics (e.g. production of computer memory and central processing units, flat screen televisions)
  • optical materials for healthcare and medicine (diagnostics and phototherapies)
  • 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.
