The BEngTech in Metallurgical Engineering at TUT trains students in the extraction, processing, characterisation, and application of metals and minerals — disciplines that are fundamental to South Africa's position as a global mining powerhouse producing platinum, gold, chrome, iron ore, and manganese. Students study mineral processing, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and physical metallurgy, with cooperative education in smelters, refineries, mines, and research laboratories. The programme leads to ECSA accreditation and professional technologist registration. Graduates work across the full mining value chain, from mineral beneficiation and process plant management to research and consulting.
