  • Australia is a major producer of Iron ore, Coal, Copper, bauxite/aluminium, Gold, Silver, diamond, Opals lead, Nickel and Uranium ( Yellow Cake), Petroleum and Natural gas. China’s growing demand for minerals continues to fuel mining activity in Australia. A Mining Engineering degree prepares graduates for a employment  in the minerals processing and mining industry in Australia.
  • Rare Earth metal mining in Australia is expected to rise in activity due to China’s tightening of its exports. At the moment China is responsible  for more than 95 % of the global supply of rare earth metals.
  • Most mining jobs typically require you ( regardless if you are a mining or an electrical or civil engineer working at a mine ) to be based at a remote mine site devoid of usual urban facilities. Typical work schedule is work 2 weeks on, 1 weeks off etc aka FIFO. Apart from the glamour of big bucks associated with mining, please be aware of these working condition, perhaps speak to a few people who have actually worked in such mines, before deciding to take a degree in this area, and finding out 4 years later you hate it !

Typical admission requirements :

  • Physics, Mathematics, English proficiency

New South Wales : NSW

  • Mining Engineering courses at University of New South Wales : UNSW
  • University of Wollongong : UOW – Civil, Mining and Environmental
