Degree overview

Study mining engineering

When you study the Bachelor of Engineering (Mining Transfer program) you learn about the design, supervision and management of coal, mineral and metal mines and their associated infrastructure. Importantly, you'll learn how to do this with minimal damage to the environment. Students gain an understanding of civil and mining engineering concepts in preparation for their professional career.

Career opportunities

The mining sector is dominated by large and often multinational companies. The industry is split into two sectors – one specialising in exploration for new resources, and the other in mining those resources. Careers pursued as a mining engineer track the development of a mine from discovery of a mineral resource through to design, commissioning operations and beyond.
