Introduction
The Curtin University Corrosion Engineering Courses are unique to the region and are tailored to industry needs, specifically the energy and resource industries, meeting strong global demand for Corrosion Engineers. The courses are designed to deliver specific skills such as understanding fundamental corrosion and prevention principles, diagnosing corrosion problems, formulating anti-corrosion solutions including working on real-life corrosion cases and projects. These courses can be undertaken while working or from home location as there are no requirements to attend classes at the University. This course provides an advanced professional qualification for graduates in engineering or science disciplines.
Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
A recognised bachelor degree in engineering or science with equivalent of first year Chemistry.
Completion Details/Additional Criteria
