    About

    UNSW Master of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) is a two-year postgraduate degree offered at Australia’s top engineering faculty. This flexible postgraduate degree lets you specialise in mechanical engineering and gain in-depth knowledge and technical ability while continuing your professional development through industrial training.

    This degree is an entry point for graduates who want to pursue a career as an engineer with accreditation by Engineers Australia. In this degree, you’ll gain the theory, tools and strategies to design engineering systems and manage a product’s full life-cycle. You’ll gain advanced disciplinary knowledge and practical experience in areas of:

    • Computer-aided design and manufacture
    • Machine condition monitoring
    • Acoustics and noise
    • Composite materials and mechanics
    • Solar thermal energy design
    • Automobile engine technology

    The Master of Engineering includes an integrated 60 days industrial training component and courses to develop your technical knowledge and skills in engineering management, analysis and design to ensure you graduate career-ready and accredited.

    Through an extensive research project, you’ll have the opportunity to extend your knowledge in a specific area of interest. The project enables students to gain valuable skills in project planning and management and learn methods to undertake the critical analysis, interpretation and communication of results.
