Cover all aspects of engineering, from design to management.
Work closely with experts in world-class laboratories.
Build fundamental statistical and mathematical knowledge.
Study complex computer systems and theories.
Network with industry.
Complete an eight-week practical engineering experience.
Take part in field trips to mining locations in Australia and overseas.

Career Readiness

Mining engineers are involved at every stage of a mining operation from the point of discovery to the closing of the mine. Graduates find opportunities as geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers, drilling and blast engineers, ventilation engineers, mine planning engineers and geostatisticians. Our recent graduates have been employed by BHP Billiton, Hillgrove Resources, and Rio Tinto.

The Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences prepares graduates for a wide variety of industries. Recent graduates have been employed by organisations such as the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), United Water, Santos, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Additionally, graduates find work in consulting engineering firms, the pharmaceutical industry, the telecommunications industry, biomedical research industries and institutes, banks and insurance companies, state and federal government agencies, and research and academic organisations all over the world.

Industry Placement

As part of the engineering degree, students are required to complete eight weeks of approved practical experience.
