Overview

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. Implementation of Industry 4.0 strategies, and evolving into Industry 5.0 concepts and beyond, sees manufacturing approaches that are human centred, resilient, and able to achieve true sustainability.

The Master of Advanced Manufacturing at QUT is designed for students with a background in engineering and a recognised undergraduate degree from the identified disciplines to provide a foundation for continued learning. 

In this degree, you will learn to strategically apply new technologies and modes of manufacturing to help streamline operations and innovate. You’ll learn to address emerging trends in de-carbonisation and lead projects using sustainable materials and processes such as biofuels and animal-free food production. You'll learn how to build sustainability and resilience into a manufacturing process when supply chain impacts affect production.
