Master of Science (Mineral and Energy Economics)
Building on the foundation studies of business and mining disciplines, this 300 credit program (single masters program) prepares candidates for more senior management roles in the mining and energy sectors. It focuses on economic, financial and management issues as they relate to both mining and energy. Faculty members are drawn from the Department of Mineral and Energy Economics, the Curtin Graduate School of Business and other Australian and overseas universities, as well as from the resources sector.
The course offers two majors - Mineral Economics and Energy Economics and within those majors, two streams for those with technical or non-technical backgrounds. Well-performed candidates without an appropriate background may be admitted but will be required to complete appropriate bridging and special course units as prescribed. In certain cases, the need to complete these special units may result in an extension of studies beyond the normal length of the course.
