Master of Philosophy (Engineering) at The University of Adelaide

Mining engineers work with all aspects of ore extraction and processing. They gather valuable minerals or metals and provide a backbone industry for our society. This intensive degree is suited to high-achieving engineering graduates, as well as engineers with relevant work experience. It is fully accredited by Engineers Australia. Our Master of Engineering (Mining) comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. You will: study geomechanics, geotechnical engineering and geostatistics build skills in mine design, modelling and simulation conduct risk and uncertainty analyses explore mine management, planning and sustainable practices pursue specialist topics according to your interests and career goals undertake a significant research project.

Investment in the advanced materials market is expanding the world over-in the space industry, medical technologies, defence, manufacturing, energy, telecommunications and more. Experts with the advanced capabilities to lead discoveries in materials engineering are in high demand. Our Master of Materials Engineering will equip you with high-level knowledge-and practical research skills-at the real-world interface between materials engineering, chemistry and physics. The industry-driven content is delivered over two years full-time, through a flexible blend of online and intensive face-to-face learning; and if you're currently employed full-time and looking to upskill, you can make the study fit you by taking courses individually or combined as a graduate diploma or certificate. You will: work in the University's state-of-the-art engineering research labs have access to cutting-edge on-campus research and development facilities be mentored by world-class materials engineering researchers-including from the University of Adelaide Centre for Materials in Energy and Catalysis, and the ARC Research Hub for Graphene Enabled Industry Transformation. You'll also be able to take specialist courses in your chosen major: Energy; Quantum; or Optical. And you'll apply and expand your learning through a major research project supervised by leading Adelaide engineers and scientists.
