Course Content
The Master of Economic Geology requires the completion of 200 credit points, consisting of 150 credit points of coursework units and 50 credit points consisting of either a Research Thesis (Research Pathway) or capstone units (Professional Pathway). All units are weighted at 25 credit points.
(i) All students must complete KEA712, KEA716 and at least one of KEA718, KEA707 or KEA708.
(ii) To demonstrate attainment of the course learning outcomes, students complete either a research thesis (both units KEA724 and KEA725), or any two of the following four units: KEA709, KEA710, KEA711, KEA724.
(iii) The remaining three units may be chosen from KEA707, KEA708, KEA709, KEA710, KEA711 and KEA713, or completed by cross-institutional study through the national Minerals Geoscience Masters (MGM) program. The maximum number of cross-institutional units allowed is three.
