The Master of Materials Technology (MMT) is the leading postgraduate degree of its kind in Australia, offering the most comprehensive range of courses across the entire spectrum of materials science and engineering. The program can be completed in one to two years of full-time study, depending on background experience, and is designed for graduates with a background in science or engineering who are interested in further developing their knowledge of materials science and engineering.
The program emphasises the application of the basic sciences to the understanding of the structure, properties, and processing of materials for enabling you to design high-performance materials that have a major impact on the world around us. Your study will include both a coursework component (75%), including four foundation core courses and eight electives, as well as a research thesis (25%) taken over a full year of your degree.
