19 Metallurgy Masters Degree Programs

The degree is conferred on the basis of a dissertation and examination in the field of study of the dissertation and/or divisions of the field of study as required by the relevant head of department. Research focus areas in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering:

The purpose of the Master of Engineering in Physical Metallurgy is to develop a graduate with advanced abilities in appropriate analytical and research skills relevant to engineering design and synthesis, in order to solve engineering problems of society at large. One of the main objectives of this program is to develop an advanced capability to conduct research independently and as such promote a lifelong learning approach.

The Department of Metallurgy maintains strong links with the metal industry within South Africa, providing undergraduates with exposure to a wide range of metal-related operations. The exposure equips graduates with sound knowledge of metal production, design, and manufacture.

Master in Materials Engineering provides advanced education in materials engineering, with two fields of specialization: a more generalized education in materials and another in metallurgy. The study cycle offers a background in materials science and technology, focusing on product design, processing technologies, and characterization techniques, addressing all classes of materials in the specialization on materials and, more specifically, metallic materials in the case of the specialization in metallurgy. This is complemented with education in management and interdisciplinary competencies.

Masters in Metallurgical Engineering The study program is aimed at educating specialists in modern metallurgy and engineering. Initially, basic common theoretical courses are taught, suitably complemented by courses in materials science, management, and quality management. The study program also covers the subjects of iron and steel production, foundry, and bulk-forming.

The Master's in Materials Science aims to form a materials scientist, same time a chemist and a physicist. Students will therefore learn the language of both chemistry and physics, as a materials scientist should act as a bridge between these two apparently different, but very close disciplines.

The Advanced Metallurgy MMed program is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of the properties and behaviors of metals and alloys. It covers essential topics like materials character...

Master’s Degree is a postgraduate education level aimed at personnel training with the award of a “master” degree in the relevant educational program with compulsory acquisition of at least 60-120 academic credits.

Metallurgical/Mineral Processing Engineering deals with all aspects of metal and non-metal processing and manufacturing.

Masters degrees in Engineering Materials equip students with the skills to produce, process, develop and store materials for various engineering purposes. Related postgraduate specialisms include Advanced Engineering Materials and Materials Research.Engineering materials were typically divided into several classification, such as polymer, metal, ceramics and composites. Polymer was chosen in many types of applications as a result of this material outstanding properties such as cost effective material, low density, and better at certain mechanical properties

The master's program aims to deepen technological and scientific knowledge in materials engineering. This program is aimed at candidates wishing to complete their training in design, characterization, and manufacturing in the field of materials engineering. The program aims to deepen knowledge of the physicochemical, mechanical, and microstructural characteristics of materials in the context of specific applications, particularly on the functional properties of materials and their shaping.

The programme allows graduates, through research, to gain advanced capabilities in the areas of analysis and design in specialised aspects of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering.
