About the course
The Master of Philosophy (Engineering and IT) is a graduate research degree that lets you make an original research contribution in an engineering or IT field under the guidance of experienced supervisors and advisory committees. Projects are available across areas such as biomedical, chemical, electrical and electronic, infrastructure, mechanical and mechatronics engineering, and computing and information systems. The course is designed to support cross-disciplinary research and connection with industry-focused problems and applications.
What you might learn
Students develop advanced research capability by designing and conducting an independent research project in engineering or information technology. The program aims to build deep specialist expertise alongside skills in critical analysis, research methods, and communicating research outcomes. It also supports engagement with cross-disciplinary and real-world challenges through a research-intensive environment and access to high-end facilities.
Career outcome
Graduates may pursue research and development roles across engineering and technology industries, government, and research organisations, applying advanced research skills to complex technical problems. The degree can also provide a pathway to further doctoral study (PhD) in engineering or IT-related disciplines. Potential career directions include engineering/technology R&D, data and systems research roles, or specialist positions in emerging technology and infrastructure sectors.
