The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BEngTech) in Metallurgical Engineering (Extraction Metallurgy) at UJ develops engineering technologists who specialise in the extraction of metals from their ores — a process central to South Africa's world-leading mining industry. Students engage with pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, mineral processing, and extractive processes applied to gold, platinum, chrome, iron, and other minerals. South Africa's position as a global leader in mineral resources ensures strong demand for metallurgical engineering technologists. Graduates may register with ECSA as Professional Engineering Technologists.
