Course overview

Graduate Diplomas prepare students to develop advanced knowledge and skills for professional or highly skilled work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 8 qualifications. This course is designed for those outside the discipline of mining engineering who wish to become knowledgeable in the specialist skills of the mining industry and in particular become familiar with mining engineering methods. It prepares students for positions in the mining industry, both operational and management, in both open-pit and underground work and partially satisfies the admission criteria for the postgraduate Master of Engineering Science (Mining) study. Students who intend to submit this course award in support of any application towards a State recognised qualification in Mining should confirm the suitability of the course and core units directly with the relevant State Authority prior to enrolment

Some industrial experience is preferred.

Candidates with a recognised bachelor degree in surveying or mechanical/metallurgical engineering OR a qualification equivalent to AQF Associate Degree in applied geology or civil, geological or geotechnical engineering, plus relevant industrial experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Postgraduate Course Coordinator.
