Master of Engineering (Mining)
Specialise in new mining technologies
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 .
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.
