Bachelor of Engineering (Mining)
The Mining Engineering course aims to provide students with broad-based knowledge, training, skills and experience in areas required for practice in mining engineering. Upon satisfactory completion of the course students should be able to practice in areas requiring skills for mine planning and design, rock excavation, water and gas drainage and mine environment control. Graduates therefore, will be able to integrate technical, planning, organisational, management and financial skills with an emphasis on those areas as their talents allow.
Study Options
The degree can be combined with Environmental or Civil Engineering in second year. Double degrees are also available.
