Overview

Master of Professional Engineering - Metallurgical Engineering

This major at Curtin University equips future metallurgical and process engineers with concepts and procedures relevant to precious, critical and base metal extraction, separation and refining from primary and secondary resources.

You will learn about techniques and emerging technologies in mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. 

Students will be exposed to a full scope of minerals and metals processing, including: 

mineralogy, process selection, plant design, resources recycling, and environmental management, along with aspects of project assessment and mineral economics

A comprehensive understanding of metallurgical processes is critical to optimising resource extraction, particularly from low-grade and complex ores. 

Practical laboratory-based learning will allow you to gain exposure to various stages in processing minerals and extracting value from different sources. 

During the course, you will participate in engineering professional practice via Work Integrated Learning and site-based case studies.

In your research project, you will have the opportunity to apply advanced knowledge and technologies to solve key industry challenges, often linked to regional operations.

This major sits within the Master of Professional Engineering degree. Therefore, you will apply for the Master of Professional Engineering to apply for this major.

The course is not suitable for graduates of a four-year undergraduate degree with Engineers Australia accreditation in the same discipline.
