About this course

BEng in Mining Engineering, an engineering degree focused on the extraction and management of natural resources. Core topics include Programming, Microelectronics, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Fieldwork, Project Management, and Engineering Design. Students undertake fieldwork at local mine sites to gain hands-on practical experience. The first year covers foundational principles through compulsory modules such as Engineering Mathematics and Scientific Computing, Multi-Disciplinary Group Challenge Project, Fundamentals of Mechanics, Fundamentals of Materials, Fundamentals of Electronics, and Fundamentals of Engineering. The second year advances into specialist subjects via compulsory modules including Geotechnics, Resource Cycle and Value Chain, Resource Extraction Methods, Resource Development, and Discipline Group Challenge Project.
