Overview

Master of Engineering Technology (Mining Engineering)

As a professional mining engineer, you will oversee teams of engineering technologists and skilled trade staff to construct the designs you have created and work at a theoretical level to isolate, analyse and define engineering outcomes.

Mining engineers are in high demand in Australia and the Asia Pacific Region and work in all parts of the industry, including feasibility studies, mine design, and managing production and sales.

As a graduate, you will be eligible to become a member of Engineers Australia and seek managerial roles with private consultants, contracting companies, or federal, state and local government organisations.

Upon successful completion, you will be eligible for entry into the Master of Engineering Technology (Project Management) or the Master of Health (Workplace Health and Safety) or progress to a PhD at Federation University.
