Master Of Engineering (Mining)

Mining engineers work with all aspects of ore extraction and processing. They gather valuable minerals or metals and provide a backbone industry for our society. This intensive degree is suited to high-achieving engineering graduates, as well as engineers with relevant work experience. It is fully accredited by Engineers Australia. What will you do? Our Master of Engineering (Mining) comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. You will: study geomechanics, geotechnical engineering and geostatistics build skills in mine design, modelling and simulation conduct risk and uncertainty analyses explore mine management, planning and sustainable practices pursue specialist topics according to your interests and career goals undertake a significant research project. To stay in the program, you’ll need to maintain a high grade point average. An exit path will be available if you’re only completing the foundation year. In this case you’ll receive a graduate diploma. Where could it take you? You might process minerals, take on a managerial role or work with artificial intelligence designed for mining. You could be a highly paid drilling or geotechnical engineer. Perhaps you’ll work in exciting developing fields like deep-sea or space mining. Potential careers Geotechnical Engineer, Engineer, Minerals Processing Engineer, Mineral Exploration, Mining Engineer, Drilling Engineer Degree Structure The Master of Engineering is a 48-unit program comprising 12 units of core courses, 12 units of foundation courses, 12 units of advanced technical coursework and a project to the value of 12 units, which introduces candidates to research.
