About the course
This Master of Philosophy (Mining and Metallurgical Engineering) is a higher degree by research that builds advanced knowledge beyond honours or a postgraduate diploma through an independently researched thesis. You will work under academic supervision, with any coursework kept secondary to research, and produce an original contribution to the discipline. The course can provide a pathway for consideration into a PhD in engineering. The programme applies rigorous engineering research methods to address complex technical challenges and advance sustainable innovation.
Career outcome
Graduates are prepared for research-focused roles and further doctoral study, supported by experience planning, conducting and communicating independent research. Career directions may include R&D and technical specialist roles in mining and metallurgical operations, minerals processing and extractive metallurgy, engineering consultancies, government and regulatory agencies, and research organisations. This Master by research supports careers that apply advanced research to mining and metallurgical engineering challenges.
