Overview

The Master of Ore Deposit Geology programme from The University of Western Australia includes significant practical work and opportunities to undertake field excursions with research leaders in earth sciences to mineralised regions in Australia and overseas.

Key facts

Strong research activity at UWA means there is also potential to undertake a research project in a wide variety of mineral geoscience topics and in conjunction with the minerals industry.

The course also offers opportunities to undertake coursework units at partner universities in Australia to gain broader experience and develop complementary skills in topics such as resource economics and financial management.

With world-class ore bodies becoming more difficult to find, there is an increasing recognition that geologists will require new approaches and skills in order to discover new deposits.

Career opportunities:

The Master of Ore Deposit can greatly increase your career opportunities in the minerals industry.

Upon graduation, you will have gained knowledge of geological, geophysical and geochemical methods as applied to understanding key processes and factors controlling the formation of ore deposits.

Resource companies, consulting companies, state and federal government agencies will undeniably be looking at your profile and interested in your new skills.
