About this course

The Diploma of Advanced Manufacturing will equip graduates with the knowledge and skills required to pursue a career within Australia's rapidly growing industry 4.0 and advanced manufacturing sectors. Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution that employs digital technology, automation, and cyber-physical systems to optimise production in the manufacturing environment.

Over the next 10 years traditional workplaces will see significant change due to emerging technologies including Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Additive Manufacturing, Digital Twinning, Supply Chain 4.0, Robotics and Mechatronics. This course will equip you to be part of the growing workforce in these sectors.

With this diploma, you qualify for entry-level engineering roles, or you can continue onto other engineering and IT degree courses such as CDU's Associate Degree in Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering Science or Bachelor of IT.

Commencing students employed in the defence, aerospace, and associated manufacturing industries may be eligible to apply for a Commonwealth-funded place. Please contact testlab@cdu.edu.au prior to submitting an application to discuss your eligibility.
