The Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science is a postgraduate coursework program suitable for science and engineering graduates. Students have the opportunity to choose a Graduate Certificate in one of three specialisations, covering Technical Courses, Management, and an Engineering Project (which may be conducted in the work place or on campus). Technical courses are offered in the areas of Mineral Processing and Energy.

The Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science program consists of any 40 units specialisation listed. Students may use their Graduate Certificate as credit towards the Master of Engineering Science. Students must successfully complete a minimum of 40 units of study, consisting of one specialisation.

Please note: students are unable to combine Mineral Processing with the Energy specialisation.

Students have the opportunity to obtain considerable practical experience in the Engineering Project. This experience may be based on an engineering consultancy, design, or research project and can be conducted either in the work place or on the University campus. Technical courses will also expose students to practical demonstration of new technology in the laboratory.

This Graduate Certificate program recognises the different career pathways that science and engineering professionals working in industry choose to take, usually either managerial or technical. The technical specialisations are especially relevant to the energy sector (e.g. Clean Coal Technology), and also to those who wish to work in the coal or mineral processing industries. Others interested in research and development, innovation and commercialisation sectors will also benefit.
