Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mining)

The reinvigoration of traditional mining plus new advances such as deep-sea mining and space mining mean there's an exciting future for mining engineers, with a wealth of job opportunities around Australia and overseas.

The University is ranked 7 in the world for Mining and Mineral Engineering.

What will you do?

Being the only mining engineering course in South Australia, we cover everything from engineering design to management skills. You will:

• take part in field trips to mining locations in Australia and overseas
• gain exposure to industry practices in world-class laboratories
• work closely with experts to develop skills and networks for a successful career
• complete an eight-week practical experience
• undertake an optional semester at another mining university

Where could it take you?

You will graduate as an accredited engineer with mining as your specialty. You might drill and blast in local stone quarries or travel overseas to unearth rare metals. You could design plans for how to approach newly discovered sites. Perhaps you'll work in exciting developing fields like deep-sea or space mining.

This program is accredited by Engineers Australia.
