Master of Mining Engineering
Duration (International)
tba
Assessment (Internat.)
Assignments, design problems and thesis
Outline
The course is designed to allow for flexible delivery of advanced subjects in the area of Mining Engineering to allow working Engineers to understand advanced concepts and to develop skills in applying these concepts in the mining industry. The course is designed to provide advanced education across a range of mining engineering subjects and not to focus on a single area of study.
The course is to comprise of a total of 12 units each based on the 15-credit point system. Eight of these units will be coursework based with the requirement being that a minimum of 4 of these units must be undertaken from the advanced list. The remaining 4 units make up a sequence that involves a major project to be undertaken and thesis to be written and presented.
Career Opportunities
Mining Engineers are in high demand in Australia and the Asia Pacific Region. The broad education offered at the School of Science and Engineering enables students to find employment in a wide range of resource related industries, including consulting. Mining Engineers work in all parts of the industry from feasibility studies through to mine design, to managing actual production and sales.
RPL and Credit Transfer
International students wishing to apply for RPL and Credit Transfer are required to provide syllabus of previous study undertaken at time of applying for course. Not all courses offer RPL and Credit Transfer. Contact the International Student Programs office at international@ballarat.edu.au
Objectives
The course is designed to enable students:
- Explain fundamental Engineering concepts at an advanced level in selected Mining industry areas;
- Describe and explain technical systems in a wide range of Mining Engineering applications;
- Apply the visualisation of three-dimensional space to the solution of Mining Engineering design problems;
- Perform research and development tasks.
- Appreciate the responsibilities of Mining Engineers in relation to the environment and sustainable development.
Requirements
To qualify for the Master of Mining Engineering degree a student must complete 60 credit points based on a research project and thesis and 120 credit points from the prescribed list of units. If units have been undertaken previously in the Graduate Diploma of Mining they are not eligible to be selected for study within the Master of Mining Engineering.
