Overview

Master of Engineering Studies - Sustainable Resource Recovery

You can choose to complete a Master of Engineering Studies in Sustainable Resource Recovery at the University of Auckland

If you'd like to pursue a shorter-term study option, you can undertake this as a specialisation as part of a Postgraduate Certificate in Engineering or Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering.

A specialisation in Sustainable Resource Recovery gives you exposure to departmental expertise in areas such as advanced resource recovery technologies, bioprocessing, materials processing and characterisation, and process control and optimisation — all are skills valued in industry and research. 

Additional electives also cover relevant areas, including:

  • Process control
  • Microbial technology in bioprocess engineering
  • Industry 4.0 for chemical engineering
  • Food process engineering
  • Applications in biomaterials

There is also a research component to your programme, which allows you to undertake an open-ended project related to applications and engineering innovation in the field. 

This may be undertaken with research companies and industry professionals. 

This will help you build confidence in your transferable skills and enhances the theoretical knowledge from taught courses in the programme.
