W.A. School of Mines
Encyclopedia : W : WA : WAS : W.A. School of Mines
The Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) is located on the Kalgoorlie Campus of Curtin University of Technology, in the heart of Australia's mining industry. Since its foundation in 1902, it has earned a reputation for excellence in mining education and research, both locally and internationally.
WASM graduates are highly sought after by industry and consistently receive amongst the highest starting salaries of any graduates in Australia with virtually a 100% employment rate. Through their studies in Kalgoorlie, students gain detailed insight into the operation of the mining industry prior to graduation and most develop the independence, self-confidence and people skills necessary for a successful professional career. If you have an interest in engineering and wish to embark on an exciting, challenging and financially rewarding career in Australia's largest industry, then a professional qualification from the Western Australian School of Mines will open your door to the future.
WASM offers the early years of its courses at the Bentley campus of Curtin (as well as Kalgoorlie) for students who initially wish to stay in Perth. However, all WASM students study their professional (final) years in the vibrant mining centre of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, to obtain the technical and personal skills that are the hallmark of a WASM graduate.
WASM is the only school in Australia which has a undisputed 100% employment rate for all of it's graduates since it was founded in 1902. It is also a mostly self supporting unit of Curtin University of Technology and is the only teaching division of Curtin which shows a profit.
