Master in Extractive Metallurgy
Introduction
The Master in Extractive Metallurgy Engineering program considers a research project (thesis) and a group of basic and advanced courses, in subjects related to this discipline. Extractive Metallurgy courses are multidisciplinary, touching upon elements of geology, physics, chemistry, environmental studies, mathematics, and economics. At the end of the program, students will gain a thorough understanding of the main research areas:
- Mineral Processing,
- Pyro-metallurgy,
- Geo-Mining-Metallurgy,
- Hydrometallurgy and,
- Electrochemistry.
The objective of this Master program is to prepare highly qualified graduates that can contribute to the technological development, based on fundamental and applied research, of the mining industry in areas of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy systems. We are searching for high quality students interested in completing a research project within a research intensive university. So, if you are interested:
We strongly suggest you to contact one of the Faculty members of our Department before applying. Ask for research opportunities and funding. Include in your mail your CV and a brief motivation letter.
