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.

 

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.
