22 Metallurgy Masters Degree Programs

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 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:

This MSc program provides students with a solid theoretical foundation and focuses on enhancing their engineering skills through the faculty’s strong connections with leading companies. This well-regarded program is especially beneficial for future factory or plant engineers, offering in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in their chosen specialization.

The EMerald master‘s program was created to answer the urgent need expressed by the European Union to create a resource-efficient Europe. As the EU recognised the importance of mineral and metal resources in our modern economy, it also realised that the raw materials industries were facing a critical skills shortage.

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.

This course provides students with the latest knowledge and skills for metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) providing a great foundation for a future career. This includes AM processes and their capabilities, designing AM systems, qualification, modelling and materials. Practical experience will be gained through assignments and group and individual projects in close collaboration with leading industrial end users.

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
