Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mining) (BE(Hons)(Mining))

This program focuses on analysis and design and combines knowledge from geotechnical, environmental, structural and water engineering, geology, computing, mathematics and finance. All Engineering students will complete a common first year before branching out into their disciplines and/or a choice of thematic minors. The first two years of the Mining Engineering program focus on building engineering, mathematics and science foundations that are further developed in the final two years. The third and fourth year concentrate on developing knowledge and skills in rock mechanics, mine design and management and socio-environmental aspects of mining.  A key attribute of the Mining Engineering program at the University of Adelaide is that the curriculum was developed, and is continually updated, by industry and Mining Education Australia, which is a world-leading collaboration involving the University of Adelaide and three Australian universities in NSW, Queensland and WA. The program emphasises engineering problem-solving, analysis and design, computer-based methods, and research, communication and management skills.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mining) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years. This program is accredited by Engineers Australia and graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
