COURSE DESCRIPTION
Mining engineering is the discipline of engineering that develops and executes the processes used to extract minerals from below and above ground. As a mining engineer you’ll work in the planning and management of engineering the extraction of mineral, petroleum and gas resources from the earth. Mining Engineers evaluate, plan and oversee the construction of a mine. They’re involved in a project through all phases of mining operations.
The Graduate Certificate in Mining Engineering is designed for those already working in the industry, or for people planning a career change. It provides foundational study in mining engineering and the opportunity for mining engineering graduates and minerals industry professionals to continue their professional development in specialised areas.
This is a more flexible entry mode for applicants who have qualifications in other technical disciplines, or relevant professional and/or responsibility in the mining experience, and vocational training. In this degree you’ll learn to analyse problems or issues, articulate appropriate solutions and justify proposals and professional decisions. You’ll also learn to communicate complex ideas in a variety of formats to diverse audiences and apply disciplinary principles and practices to new or complex environments.
Key features
You’ll be studying in the renowned UNSW School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering, providing you with industry-led professional development and world-class equipment. When you study a Graduate Certificate in Mining you may be eligible to articulate to a Graduate Diploma Mining Engineering and then to a Masters in Mining Engineering.
Courses in this program may be delivered in either block mode (face-to-face or online) or offered fully online which allows you to balance continuing work with study.
Note: This program does not have CRICOS registration; it is not available for study on a Student Visa. International students on alternate visas may apply.
Future careers
Our graduates work with advanced technologies that support clean energy and the efficient supply of mineral resources. They’re innovators, taking these new ideas and technologies into their industries and driving change.
Depending on your prior study and areas of specialisation there are a number of unique roles in the Mineral Energy Engineering Resources sector you can pursue. By combining a Graduate Certificate in Mining with an Bachelor’s degree from a related discipline you can give yourself a unique skillset that sets you apart from other mining graduates.
