Graduate Certificate in Materials Engineering

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 University'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 University 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.

Entry to postgraduate coursework programs as a minimum requires a Bachelors degree or equivalent qualification from an approved institution as a qualification for entry. Some of the graduate certificates and graduate diplomas that are offered may be accepted as qualifying work for entry to a Masters program, or as professional qualifications in their own right.
