Master of Philosophy (Engineering) at The University of Adelaide

Mining engineers work with all aspects of ore extraction and processing. They gather valuable minerals or metals and provide a backbone industry for our society. This intensive degree is suited to high-achieving engineering graduates, as well as engineers with relevant work experience. It is fully accredited by Engineers Australia. Our Master of Engineering (Mining) comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. You will: study geomechanics, geotechnical engineering and geostatistics build skills in mine design, modelling and simulation conduct risk and uncertainty analyses explore mine management, planning and sustainable practices pursue specialist topics according to your interests and career goals undertake a significant research project.

Investment in the advanced materials market is expanding the world over-in the space industry, medical technologies, defence, manufacturing, energy, telecommunications and more. Experts with the advanced capabilities to lead discoveries in materials engineering are in high demand. Our Master of Materials Engineering will equip you with high-level knowledge-and practical research skills-at the real-world interface between materials engineering, chemistry and physics. The industry-driven content is delivered over two years 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 as a graduate diploma or certificate. 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 be mentored by 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 specialist courses in your chosen major: Energy; Quantum; or Optical. And you'll apply and expand your learning through a major research project supervised by leading Adelaide engineers and scientists.

Biopharmaceuticals have a critical role to play in improving global health. The more effectively and efficiently these powerful medicines can be designed and produced, the more lives they can improve and save. Professionals with specialist biopharmaceutical engineering training are in demand worldwide. Our new Master of Biopharmaceutical Engineering will prepare you to take up the challenge. Suitable for high-achieving engineering and science graduates, as well as engineers with relevant work experience, the degree offers three specialist pathways to choose from: Research, Industry or Professional Systems. The first year is common to all. Through an engaging blend of face-to-face and online coursework, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of biopharmaceutical manufacturing's technical, management and process engineering aspects. In year two, depending on your chosen pathway, you'll undertake a significant research, industry- or business-based project. In all cases, you'll receive ongoing supervision and mentorship from one of our world-class research-active academics and/or a recognised industry expert. You'll emerge with: comprehensive awareness of global biopharmaceutical market demands and regulatory requirements advanced knowledge and capability in state-of-the-art biopharmaceutical engineering, manufacturing and processing practice, including advanced processing technologies, applied data management and the use of artificial intelligence systems the ability to critically reflect on appropriate use of biopharmaceutical principles and techniques, and advise others accordingly deep understanding of the industry's social and environmental impacts high-level problem-solving and communication skills.
