Welcome to the Western Australian School of Mines Research Website
About us
Since its foundation in 1902, the Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) has earned an international reputation as an important centre of mining education. WASM is the oldest constituent part of Curtin University of Technology.
The School offers a range of programs at doctoral, master's and bachelor's level in such fields as mining engineering and mine surveying, mineral exploration and mining geology, extractive metallurgy, minerals engineering and mineral economics.
The main campus of WASM is in Kalgoorlie, the centre of the historic and famous Goldfields Region. This proximity to mining activity gives WASM graduates the opportunity to gain a high quality education that combines practical and theoretical elements effectively.
Both government and the mining industry are strong supporters of current research activities that include links with the A.J. Parker Cooperative Research Centre for Hydrometallurgy and the Key Centre for Resource Exploration.
