Master of Materials Engineering

Lead industry’s material progress

Investment in the advanced materials market is expanding the world over—in the space industry, medical technologies, defence, manufacturing, energy, telecommunications and more. Experts with the advanced capabilities to lead discoveries in materials engineering are in high demand.

What will you do?

Our Master of Materials Engineering will equip you with high-level knowledge—and practical research skills—at the real-world interface between materials engineering, chemistry and physics.

The industry-driven content is delivered over two years full-time, through a flexible blend of online and intensive face-to-face learning; and if you’re currently employed full-time and looking to upskill, you can make the study fit you by taking courses individually or combined as a graduate diploma or certificate.

You will:

work in the University’s state-of-the-art engineering research labs
have access to cutting-edge on-campus research and development facilities
be mentored by world-class materials engineering researchers—including from the University of Adelaide Centre for Materials in Energy and Catalysis, and the ARC Research Hub for Graphene Enabled Industry Transformation.

You’ll also be able to take specialist courses in your chosen major: Energy; Quantum; or Optical. And you’ll apply and expand your learning through a major research project supervised by leading Adelaide engineers and scientists.

Where could it take you?

You could enable smaller, more energy dense batteries. You might allow creation of a high-agility suit for more productive spacewalks. Perhaps your innovation will lead to the conversion of sunlight into transportable fuels to power our cars and society. You may even wish to continue your studies in a materials engineering PhD.

Job Opportunity Potential

There are three key steps you will need to take when addressing the selection criteria in any University of Adelaide job application:

Create a new document. Your statement addressing the position’s specified selection criteria should be separate from your cover letter and resume.
List each criterion separately. Give each a title, using exactly the same wording as appears on the Position Description (e.g. Excellent verbal communication skills).
Address each criterion. Under each heading, write two short paragraphs explaining how your experience, skills, education and training equip you to meet that specific requirement. Dot points are also acceptable.

Please note that failing to submit a statement addressing the selection criteria could result in your application not being considered.

Some helpful writing tips
There are a number of steps you can take when putting together your responses to increase their clarity and impact.

Give details of one or two specific things you’ve done that are good examples of the relevant experience or knowledge required. For example: ‘I was responsible for organising an event attended by… This involved…'
Preface these examples with a short overview that shows you appreciate the relevance of the specific criterion.
Quantify your experience (number of years worked, staff supervised, etc.). For example: ‘I delivered a presentation to an industry forum with an audience of 80 people.’
Where possible, indicate how successfully you meet the criterion. You could do this by referring to feedback from others, or things you've set up that are still being used. For example: ‘A report I wrote about… was endorsed by the… Committee and circulated to all stakeholders for discussion.

You could also consider using the STAR method as a structural framework when describing examples of your work. This involves describing, in the order listed here, the:

situation you faced
task required, and desired outcome
action you took to complete the task
results you achieved, and lessons you learned.
