Mechatronic engineering is a discipline that combines mechanics, electronics and computing. Mechatronic engineers may design, construct and maintain intelligent machines, micro-machines, smart structures, intelligent systems, control systems and consumer products such as cameras and washing machines. Alternatively, they may apply these skills to a fully automated robotic assembly line, or they may be involved with defence technology and automated systems.
The Master of Engineering comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. The foundation year consists of a set of courses designed to ensure that students acquire a level of expertise in the relevant specialisation. The program gives students the opportunity to study technical courses at an advanced level and the opportunity to engage in a research project.
An exit path will be available for students completing only the foundation year, after they satisfy a set requirement in the relevant discipline. In this case a graduate diploma will be awarded.
To remain in this program, students must maintain a high grade point average (GPA) throughout their candidature.

A successful application to a Master of Clinical Science program involves a number of considerations:
Academic background and Experience
An applicant must demonstrate that they have gained the required qualifications for admission to the Master of Clinical Science as detailed in the academic program rules.
English Language Proficiency Requirement
As English is the language of instruction at the University of Adelaide, all applicants must provide evidence of their proficiency before an offer of a place is made.
Availability of supervision and resourcing
In addition to the academic requirements, the Head of School must certify that your proposed research project is acceptable to the School and that there are sufficient supervisory and other resources and facilities available to enable your candidature to be completed successfully. Accordingly, discussing your research interests with your prospective supervisors/School is essential prior to submitting your Master of Clinical Science application.
The Master of Clinical Science is conducted over two years of full time study or the equivalent in half-time candidature. The key aim of the program is to train experienced clinicians in research methodology and techniques and to engage them in the critical evaluation of literature and results in their chosen field of research at an advanced level. Whilst the Master of Clinical Science may contain a significant coursework component, the focus of the degree is on research. Master of Clinical Science graduates are well placed to progress to independent research at doctoral level and to translate their research training into improved clinical outcomes.

The Master of Computing and Innovation is a conversion program designed for students who wish to develop new skills in the area of information technology (IT), management and innovation.
Success as an IT professional in today’s diverse market requires not only technical computer science skills, but also expertise in innovation and project management. As IT professionals are employed more broadly throughout different industry and government sectors there is an increasing diversity in their roles, encompassing management of IT contracts and projects, development of applications, identification and management of IT solutions and the marketing and selling of IT solutions. This diversity requires IT professionals to exhibit a high degree of technical knowledge as well as good communication and project management skills. The Master of Computing and Innovation is designed to provide these skills.
