Metallurgical Engineers are expected to understand the fundamental science of mineral extraction processes and engineering aspects, and operate in an engineering environment, working in the design, commissioning and operation of metallurgical plants. The Bachelor of Metallurgical Engineering degree provides training in the core areas of extractive metallurgy - mineral processing, pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy and process mineralogy. Units in process control and instrumentation, modelling and simulation, financial management and process economics, and environmental and operational management, bridge the science and engineering disciplines.
