'Our Master of Advanced Manufacturing provides you with a competitive advantage for your career. It focuses on sustainable and resilient manufacturing systems, advancing technology and practices in digital and bioprocess engineering. Develop your engineering capabilities and lead the creation of sustainable production systems. Our industry-embedded academics ensure a relevant and up-to-date program.'
Lead the future of manufacturing
‘The future of the manufacturing industry depends on net zero impacts, human-centric design, and highly customisable products. Professional engineers working in manufacturing must not just adapt, but must lead the transition from traditional approaches to advanced, digital, and interconnected systems of production.’
Work on-site with industry
As a postgraduate student, you’ll have access to facilities such as our Mackay Renewable Biocommodities Pilot Plant, a fully operating sugar factory, where you’ll work with raw materials and sugar cane by-products to develop and demonstrate a range of technologies at pilot scale.
Lead sustainable change in industry
'Bioprocess technologies are emerging as critical in providing solutions to reducing carbon emissions, improving access to nutritious food and enhancing the circular economy. By harnessing the power of bioprocess engineering, we pave the way towards a sustainable future where manufacturing meets the demands of the present without compromising the needs of the future.'

Why choose this course?
Advanced manufacturing is important for the world as it couples manufacturing efforts together to get the most sustainable output. Design, optimise and improve modern manufacturing systems with new technologies that are coming into the market every day to engineer a holistic and circular manufacturing approach.
Gain valuable experience in managing projects across a range of industries and learn to manage constraints in time, cost, quality, as well as social, political and environmental challenges.
This course is designed for engineers with a background in mechanical, medical or chemical and sustainable process engineering looking to upskill or be introduced to the field of advanced manufacturing. You’ll graduate with innovative knowledge and skills in advanced manufacturing, specialising in digital and robotic manufacturing or bioprocess engineering.
Digital and robotic manufacturing
Developments in digital and robotic manufacturing are creating new opportunities for achieving circularity in production systems, minimising waste at industrial scales, integrating net positive environmental technologies, and producing high quality, high value, highly customised manufactured products. Employ advanced specialist technical skills, analysis approaches, design, research, and data to find sustainable solutions to digital and robotic manufacturing problems.
Bioprocess engineering
You’ll learn how to lead projects using sustainable materials and processes such as biofuels and animal-free food production. Imagine and realise change using entrepreneur strategies, advanced design, collaborative decision-making, and innovation in ethical and sustainable ways. Graduates of the bioprocess engineering major will have the skills necessary to work in a range of industries such as energy, biomedical device, food, beverage, chemical, agriculture and pharmaceutical.
Explore this course
Work with industry partners, such as BMW and Boeing, and go onsite to processing facilities to see what it’s like in the real world. You will undertake an industry project where you will critically analyse a client brief and use advanced problem solving, analysis and relevant design skills to achieve the best outcome for the client.
You will also plan and execute a substantial research-based project in your specialist area over two semesters. Your research will be industry-informed and you will be supervised by one of QUT’s leading engineering academics.
Careers and outcomes
This degree will set you up to work in a range of industries including automotive, energy, biomedical device, machines and tools, mining, aerospace, defence, food, beverage, chemical, agriculture and pharmaceutical, and professional services. To practice as an engineer in Australia, you will need to have your bachelor degree recognised by Engineers Australia.
