Careers
As an industrial engineering student, you will have access to a vast range of opportunities to network with industry, develop your professional skills and connect with a dynamic cohort of students from around the world. There are work-integrated learning projects so you can meet and work with industry partners or find a potential mentor. You'll be able to gain relevant work experience while you study to ensure you're ready to work as a graduate engineer.
As an industrial engineer, you could work in a wide range of industries from manufacturing and processing to healthcare systems, banking and consulting.
Transferable skillset
You’ll gain a transferable skillset that will be highly valued in areas like:
- Management consulting
- Finance
- Business analysis and improvement
- Process engineering
- Project management and more

The Master of Industrial Engineering is professionally accredited with EUR-ACE® (accrediting agency: ASIIN) and the Washington Accord (through Engineers Australia).
If you entered or began the program before the full accreditation was recognised in 2024, your qualification will be backdated to cover you from when you started.
These dual accreditations give you the option to work as an engineer in Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, US, and more.
Supporting the next step in your career:
You'll be automatically considered for scholarships when you apply or enrol in your course. There are also additional scholarships that you can apply for depending on your circumstances. Awards are available to recognise your academic achievement, support financial hardship or help you gain experience outside of the classroom.
You can also find out more about scholarships for Engineering and IT coursework students.
If you’re an international student, whether you're a new or current student, you could be eligible for a merit-based scholarships of A$10,000 or more, wherever you are in the world. Learn more about undergraduate study options or graduate study options.
Profile
Anjar Retnaning Ayu
During my studies for my Master of Industrial Engineering degree, I had the opportunity to acquire new knowledge, especially related to digital transformation, technology, and sustainability in industry. I also had the chance to collaborate with people from different backgrounds, including some professionals. This collaboration helped me to understand how to analyse industry problems from different perspectives and develop innovative solutions to address them.
Graduate pathways
Once you've completed your undergraduate degree, you can go on to gain employment or begin a graduate degree and work towards a professional qualification such as law, engineering or medicine. Or you could join our graduate research community and contribute to our world-changing research.
Your graduate degree will be internationally recognised, and set you apart from those who study a traditional Australian single or double degree.
