Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mining)

Mining engineers work with all aspects of ore extraction and processing. They gather valuable minerals or metals and provide a backbone industry for our society.

The reinvigoration of traditional mining plus new advances—such as deep-sea mining and space mining—mean there's an exciting future for mining engineers, with a wealth of job opportunities around Australia and overseas.

What will you do?

Being the only mining engineering course in South Australia, we cover everything from engineering design to management skills. You will:

  • Take part in field trips to mining locations in Australia and overseas
  • Gain exposure to industry practices in world-class laboratories
  • Work closely with experts to develop skills and networks for a successful career
  • Complete an eight-week practical experience
  • Undertake an optional semester at another mining university.


Major: Mine Automation

The mining industry is in the midst of a profound digital transformation encompassing mobile computing, cloud data storage, big data analytics, and advanced process control. The industry needs highly qualified engineers to plan, design, and manage high-tech mining operations that use mine automation technology to operate systems.

The University of Adelaide is the only university in Australia currently offering a mine automation major. The major includes courses in artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, autonomous systems, and robotics.
