Mining continues to benefit and sustain communities in Australia and around the world, and the extraction of critical minerals and rare earths is increasingly important to the diversity of energy transition industries.

 

In this course you will study mining methods, rock mechanics, geology and mine planning. You’ll develop the skills to work with mining engineers in the extraction of minerals from underground and open-pit mines, safely and economically.

 

You’ll study the first and second years of your course at Curtin Perth. In your final year of study, you’ll relocate to Curtin Kalgoorlie, where you can engage with
industry and potential future employers.

 

You’ll also have field-trip opportunities to gain real-world mining experience.
