Entry Requirements
Entry requirements

Access to mine site information is essential to complete the requirements of these programs. Access to information from an underground metal mine is essential for completion of the Underground Ground Control specialisation.

Entry pathways

The possible entry paths are as follows:

(1) Entry requires a degree in Mining Engineering or Civil Engineering or Geosciences disciplines (3 or 4 years) from a recognised institution. A minimum 65% average is required over the final two years of the degree. Significant industry experience in underground mining is strongly recommended.

OR

(2) Those with limited tertiary qualifications, require at least two years of relevant responsible industry experience or permission from the Head of School or Director of Postgraduate Studies (Coursework). An entry portfolio is required with the below:

  • A cover letter explaining motivations for mining

This may include ongoing access agreed with their past employer, or access to an alternate site or site database being arranged. As such, there is no requirement for the students to have to change streams or programs on this account.
