Choose your pathIf 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.
Learn from world leading expertsDevelop 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.
An industry aligned curriculumApply your skills in internships, industry projects, and innovation challenges with industry mentors.
An internationally recognised qualificationOpen doors to engineering careers around the world with dual accreditation in the Master of Engineering.
World class facilitiesAccess cutting-edge laboratories and a heavy engineering workshop for materials testing, engine and turbine testing, wind tunnel investigations and metal forming processing.
