Check if you qualifyMetal Smithing and Jewellery Technology is a certificate programme at the University of Mines and Technology, focused on the practical and technical side of working with metal to create jewellery and objects. Study is held on weekends only, so it suits learners who need a flexible schedule. The programme is open to SHS graduates from Agriculture, General Science, and Technical Studies backgrounds.
What the field of metal smithing and jewellery technology covers
Programmes of this kind typically blend craft skill with technical know-how. You work with materials like silver, copper, and brass, learning to cut, form, solder, cast, and finish metal into jewellery, small ornaments, and practical items. The work also involves reading designs, measuring precisely, and using hand and machine tools safely. Most graduates apply these skills in jewellery-making, repair shops, or their own small businesses.
A weekend programme for flexible study
This certificate is taught on Saturdays and Sundays only. That makes it a realistic option if you are working during the week, supporting your family, or cannot commit to a full-time timetable. Because the subject is hands-on, weekend study still gives you plenty of practical contact time, and you can often build up a portfolio of your own pieces as you go.
How hard it is to get a place
Entry to this programme is less competitive than to many other programmes in engineering and technology. The college admits applicants from Agriculture, General Science, and Technical Studies backgrounds in SHS. If you have results in one of those subject groupings, you can check your grades against the published admission criteria to see if you qualify.
