This is a specialised master degree course in Economic Geology specifically designed for industry and government geologists who wish to study for a degree whilst continuing their employment. It is the nucleus of the postgraduate teaching program at the Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences (CODES) and forms part of the National Minerals Geoscience Masters Program. The course is usually only offered on a part-time, external basis. Only students that can provide evidence of financial and logistical support, and provide a research proposal will be considered for full-time admission. Students that are considering taking the course on a full-time basis must contact the program co-ordinator Robert Scott to discuss their plans.

We offer a series of units as part of our Master of Economic Geology and Graduate Certificate in Economic Geology degrees to help industry geologists to keep up with advances in mineral exploration technology and ore deposit research.

Each unit features an extended format comprising an intensive program of lectures, seminars and practicals, some involving fieldwork in Tasmania or overseas. The unit leaders are specialists selected from industry and universities, and are eminent in their fields. Each unit is available to industry participants as a complete intensive unit, or segments of particular interest can be taken in individual blocks.
