Master of Materials Technology
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Master of Materials Technology offers the widest selection of postgraduate materials science and engineering courses in Australia, built for graduates in chemical or physical sciences, engineering or related fields who want deeper understanding of the microstructure-property-performance relationship across major material classes and how they're transformed into eco-friendly products through sustainable manufacturing. The flexible curriculum runs one to two years full-time depending on prior study, normally 96 credit points over two years, though recognition of prior learning in materials science can shorten it to 18 months or one year. The program aims to produce socially aware graduates equipped for careers in materials science and engineering broadly, rather than narrowly training for one specific materials application. It suits both recent science and engineering graduates and working professionals who want to deepen materials expertise, with the flexible duration accommodating candidates at different starting points.
