Overview

Master of Mechanical Engineering

Design and build tomorrow’s machines and systems, from small-scale devices to air and spacecraft, with the Master of Engineering (Mechanical) at The University of Melbourne

Turn energy into power and motion and gain mechanical design, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics skills.

Once you’ve started studying, you can specialise in ‘Aerospace, ‘Business’, ‘Manufacturing’ or ‘Materials’, or continue without specialising.

Develop advanced mechanical engineering skills guided by fluid mechanics, turbulence and biomechanics experts. 

You’ll be learning from researchers who have developed robots with a human touch, low-cost prostheses, 3D printing to create jaws and save hearts and working to improve the efficiency of aircraft.

Apply your skills in internships, industry projects, and innovation challenges with industry mentors.
