MJRH-MTENG v.2 Metallurgical Engineering Major (BEng Hons)
Curtin University
About
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.
Professional Recognition
This has been accredited by the Institution of Engineers, Australia and recognised by The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
Overview Note
Two intakes are offered each year for domestic students, in February and July, but because availability of some units is limited to specific semesters those students commencing mid-year might need to study part-time for one or more semesters and usually will not be able to complete the major within the expected time to complete. There is February intake only for International students. For more information, please contact the WA School of Mines for enrolment assistance.
Structure
Major/Stream Learning Outcomes
A graduate of this course can:
