Master of Engineering (Mechanical)

Specialise in cutting-edge technologies

Mechanical engineers are experts in everything from prosthetic limbs and robots to motor vehicles, aircrafts and space stations. They design and develop materials, processes and products-always innovating new ways to improve our lives and the world.

This intensive degree is suited to high-achieving engineering graduates, as well as engineers with relevant work experience. It is fully accredited by

Our Master of Engineering (Mechanical) comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. With a strong hands-on learning and design focus, you'll:

• explore advanced mechanics and structural design
• study applied aerodynamics and thermodynamics
• pursue specialist topics according to your interests and career goals
• build communication and project management skills
• undertake a significant research project.

You could develop life-saving medical technologies, or innovate in the sustainable energy field. You might design, build and test robots and robotic systems with artificial intelligence. Perhaps you'll be an aerospace engineer or check naval ships for damage using vibration mechanics.
