This program is not available to commencing students. Details below are provided for the reference of continuing students only.
Prospective students should refer instead to the new program, Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science - 5338.

The School of Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry now offers a Graduate Diploma in Aluminium Smelting Technology. Applicants with a recognised 3 or 4 year BSc or BE degree will be permitted to enrol directly into the Diploma program. Applicants with no tertiary qualifications but with experience in the aluminium smelting industry will also be considered for entry into the Diploma program after successful completion of the corresponding Graduate Certificate in Aluminium Smelting Technology (7334). Depending on their performance, students enrolled in the GradCert program may also be eligible to upgrade to the Graduate Diploma prior to taking out the Certificate as long as they already hold a 3-4 year relevant degree and have no recorded failures in the courses attempted.

The Graduate Diploma in Aluminium Smelting Technology will be awarded after successful completion of 36 units of credit courses. For the GradDip, the 4 courses offered under the GradCert in Aluminium Smelting Technology must be completed together with a further 12 units of credit. This must include at least one of the following 6 units of credit Elective Courses. Please note that some of these courses may be offered only every two years. Some courses are avilable as distance delivery modules, which include a 3-4 week intensive training period (usuall in June/July) to permit industry personnel to attend on a full-time basis. A further 6 units of credit can be chosen from an approved tertiary program.

Applicants who have already completed the GradCert in Aluminium Smelting Technology will need to choose at least 2 of the specified 6 units of credit Elective Courses. Of the additional 24 units of credit required for the GradDip, at least 12 units of credit must be selected from the Master of Process Engineering (8016) program at UNSW. The balance may be chosen from other approved tertiary programs.

Recognised 3 or 4 year BSc or BE degree or after successful completion of Graduate Certificate in Aluminium Smelting Technology (7334)

Two levels of training can be undertaken in Aluminium Smelting Technology, each level including a three to four week intensive course that is partly residential, and will include visits to operating smelters for workshop discussions and practical examples of topics being taught. The Graduate Certificate (7334) requires 24 units of credit (four courses each of 6 units of credit), while the Graduate Diploma (5034) requires 36 units of credit to be satisfactorily completed. Satisfactory performance in the Certificate and Diploma courses can lead to the possibility of students subsequently undertaking a Master of Engineering Science in Process Engineering (8016) which is a 48 units of credit degree.
