Murdoch University

This course will help student to learn about the design, commissioning and operation of metal plants, geological processes and plate tectonics, as well as the origin and mineralogical characteristics of principle ore types. This course engages student in practical training in a range of mining techniques such as resource and reserve estimation, using real equipment in our simulated pilot plant and mining laboratories. Students will also get opportunity to visit mine-sites and metallurgical plants, and access a range of interstate or overseas vacation employment and university-industry scholarships . As a final year student (4th year) student, Students will be able to participate in industry funded research projects and a world-class national Process Design course sponsored by the Minerals Council of Australia. The skills and knowledge gained by student open doors to a multitude of opportunities in the mining industry and allied industries including oil and gas, chemical engineering, mineral processing and processing consulting here around the world.
Good knowledge of metals and chemistry.
Design, commissioning and operation of metal plants, geological processes and plate tectonics, as well as the origin and mineralogical characteristics of principle ore types is studied as major part of studies. Mining techniques such as resource and reserve estimation, using real equipment in our simulated pilot plant and mining laboratories are also involved .
As per normal undergraduate admission requirements. Students are expected to have sufficient background in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics. Those who do not have the background will have to complete prerequisite units.
After completing this graduation from Murdoch university ,Students will also gain professional recognition from the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy AusIMM.
Depending on skill combinations or specializations student possess, Murdoch degree may lead student towards work and study opportunities in a number of areas. The following are some professions to consider, including extra majors and minors that will improve your prospects of achieving them. Energy and Environmental Engineering:-Energy and Environmental Engineers apply practical solutions to achieve energy savings in building and construction and stress the importance of energy conservation within an organisation or community. Energy Economist:- Energy Economists monitor prices, demand and supply of oil, natural gas and other fossil fuels.
