One of the most specialised types of engineers, mining engineers are involved throughout the lifecycle of a mining project. You could be involved in initial surveying, determining extraction processes or preparing production schedules. You might even lead land rehabilitation efforts once a project is complete. Through our Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Honours) majoring in Mining Engineering, you’ll gain sound knowledge in civil engineering principles and their applications in the mining sector. You’ll learn how to design and coordinate operations of mine sites including scheduling, budgeting and mine management. This degree will equip you with a strong foundation in civil engineering, including the technical skills needed for a career in the mining sector. Study a broad range of courses in civil engineering and specialised courses in mining project management. You’ll have opportunities to hone your creativity and engineering mindset through substantial design projects, practicals, and professional experiences. In your final year, you’ll undertake a research project, with industry representatives or academic researchers serving as your clients. You’ll graduate career-ready, completing up to 12 weeks of professional work placements as part of your studies. You’ll graduate with advanced civil engineering knowledge and the technical skills to work on-site and manage all stages of a mining project.
