The Master of Engineering (Manufacturing) at RMIT University explores how products move from concept to reality in industries like automotive, aerospace, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Students focus on topics such as advanced manufacturing technologies, automation and robotics, quality systems, supply chain management, and sustainable production methods. There’s an emphasis on modern challenges that Australian manufacturers face, for example, digital transformation and efficient use of resources.
Offered in Melbourne, the course typically spans two years of full-time study. Students complete a series of core and elective units, each assigned credit points that count toward the qualification. It's common for the degree to include a capstone project in the final year, simulating real-world manufacturing problems and solutions. Some students may have access to work-integrated learning, collaborating with local companies or research groups to gain industry experience relevant to Australian manufacturing.
Skills developed include process optimisation, project management, use of manufacturing software, leadership, and applying lean principles. Problem-solving and teamwork are key aspects, and graduates gain the confidence to operate in a technical and managerial capacity. This course is suited to engineering graduates and professionals looking to specialise in manufacturing, improve their prospects in advanced manufacturing, or retrain toward leadership roles in the sector.
International applicants need to meet English proficiency requirements; a value of IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall is usually needed, but details should always be confirmed on the official RMIT University site. Full-time students in Australia usually have work rights up to 48 hours per fortnight during teaching periods and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) following graduation under the post-study work stream.
It typically takes 2 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
