COURSE DESCRIPTION
Mining engineering 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.
This degree is designed for mining engineering graduates and minerals industry professionals who want to continue their professional development. In this degree you’ll learn the fundamentals of?mining engineering, mining processes, systems and analysis, and risk and safety management, as well as undertaking a?research project?in the?mining industry. Building on your four-year undergraduate degree in mining engineering or a related discipline you’ll develop the advanced knowledge for a successful career in mining engineering.
Whether you’re interested in?civil engineering, underground mining or geomechanics, you’ll advance your career in the mining industry with a Master of Mining Engineering. This course will arm you with the latest skills, trends and knowledge to get ahead.
You’ll develop your research skills by planning and executing an enquiry-based or mining industry research project or capstone project. Through this degree you’ll be able to investigate, generate and synthesise complex ideas and concepts in mining engineering. Develop a detailed understanding of the many facets of the mining industry, preparing you for your future career through practical assignments and field trips.
Key features
This 1.7-year full time (or flexible part time) degree is taught by Australia’s leading Engineering faculty. ?Many of the courses in this degree are offered as modules over a short block period?so you can continue to work if you choose to study part time.
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.
You can choose one of two specialisations, Mine Geomechanics or Mine Management, as you complete this advanced study in mining engineering.
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.
As a graduate of mining engineering, you’ll be evaluating, planning and overseeing the construction of mines and assessing processes. This includes labour usage and equipment that’ll be required to extract minerals and ores from the earth.
Your future career awaits, with potential roles including:
Mining Engineer
Engineering Geologist
Petroleum Engineer
Geotechnical Engineer
