305375 v.1 Master of Process Management

MProcMgnt(Curtin)

Course CRICOS Code: 043662F
Registered full-time Duration for International Onshore Students on student visas: 1.5 Years

Introduction

It is recognised that a management dominated role is the long term function of many practising engineers and scientists working in process industries and that the need for engineering oriented management skills increases with career development. It is equally clear that some graduate engineers and metallurgists have received only an introduction to management and hardly any process engineering topics at first degree level and that this is a starting point for enhancing of management skills in process industries. To meet this objective, the Department of Chemical Engineering has developed the Master of Process Management providing a balance between process engineering and business skills.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

A recognised degree in engineering or applied science at honours level or completion of a recognised degree in engineering or applied science without honours but with relevant process industry experience since graduation. Candidates with an appropriate pass degree can be accepted at the discretion of the Head of Department. Candidates must have a demonstrated proficiency in English where this is not the applicant's first language or where the qualification has not been attained by English language instruction.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.

Duration and Availability

This fee paying course is three semesters full-time or equivalent part-time study. Two intakes are offered each year, in March and August.

Course Organisation

As well as the core components, a total of six optional units are selected from Process Engineering and Industrial Management units. The project unit (ChE 596 Process Management Research Project) must be undertaken in the final year of the course.

Additional Course Expenses

Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials.
