Overview

Bachelor of Applied Science - Mining Engineering

Mining engineers focus on finding ways to extract minerals or metals from the earth. 

Their expertise in mining, mineral processing, and mine waste management is highly sought after worldwide, wherever mines are located. 

UBC’s Mining Engineering program integrates courses on engineering principles, earth sciences, and mining and mineral processing with content covering health, safety, management, economics, and environmental and social issues.

Mining Engineering is concerned with extracting and processing ores containing valuable minerals or metals. 

To become a mining engineer, you need a thorough knowledge of general engineering principles, followed by studying courses specific to mining and mineral processing. 

These courses are designed to cover a wide and diverse range of subjects to meet the challenges faced by the global mining industry. 

The program’s cross-disciplinary approach to mining aims to reduce the environmental impact of mining operations, improve the social impacts of mining, and increase the efficiency of mineral extraction aspects, such as energy and water usage.

If you have a strong record of academic achievement but do not yet meet the UBC English language requirement. 

In that case, you may be eligible for the Conditional Admission Program, which offers English language preparation leading to an undergraduate degree program on UBC’s Vancouver campus for bachelor degree programs in all faculties.

Once accepted to the Conditional Admission Program, you must register for the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program. 

To earn the Certificate of English Language, you will need to successfully complete two courses, EAP 600 and EAP 650, to meet the UBC English Language Admission Standard.

EAP Program options

  • Two 8-week sessions will begin in January, May, or August/September. One session will cover EAP 600, and the other EAP 650.
  • One 8-week accelerated session is scheduled to begin in July and finish in August/September. This session covers both EAP 600 and EAP 650.
