Master of Engineering Science (Manufacturing Engineering and Management)

Manufacturing engineers are involved in all facets of production and have a broad knowledge of the design and operation of machines and systems, which means they often manage multidisciplinary teams.  

This masters defree is aimed at achieving quality, timely arrival, minimum costs and flexible manufacturing - with courses suited to those seeking management roles.   

The Master of Engineering Science promotes flexible learning as a keystone of the program. It's designed for students who already have a four-year accredited engineering degree and who now wish to broaden their job prospects through cross training, re-training or specialisation. 

UNSW School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering is the largest mechanical engineering school in Australia – with more than 2,500 undergraduate and postgraduate students and 90 staff members.
