Lead the way in building a better future for everyone with a Master of Materials Technology from UNSW. Materials scientists and engineers are working to solve some of the world’s biggest societal challenges. They’re developing more sustainable processes and recyclable products, as well as innovative materials used for green energy generation and storage through to biomedical applications. They build the world we live in, developing high-performance metallic, ceramic, polymeric, composite, nano-structured, and nature-inspired materials, and designing new products and technologies.
UNSW’s Master of Materials Technology (MMatTech) is the leading materials technology postgraduate degree in Australia, offering a wide range of courses in materials science and engineering, from the fundamentals of materials science right through to computational materials science, sustainable materials processing and materials design and performance.
You’ll come away with a deep understanding of the interrelationships between the structure, properties, processing and performance of materials. You’ll gain in-demand skills that will set you up for a career designing advanced materials for use in aerospace, transportation, defence, construction, mining, electronics, energy conversion or biomedical science. The possibilities are endless.
