Master of Engineering (Mining) at The University of Adelaide

This course provides an opportunity at master's level for professional engineers to explore specific aspects of engineering in depth by undertaking a substantial research study in their field of specialisation. The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through professional engineering subjects, subjects relating to the chosen major, an independent research project in at least one field of engineering, and a set of electives.

Our School has strong research interests, ranging from materials production (including extraction from ores and refining) to the design, development, processing and recycling of materials for use in industries like aerospace, transportation, electronics, energy conversion and biomedical systems.

The Master of Research degree comprises research and research training, requiring students to complete 96 credit points of subjects. The first year comprises 48cp of research training and coursework while the second year comprises a 48cp thesis, which is assessed by two external examiners. Academic Units may award credit for the research training and coursework component and will determine the appropriate entry point.
