Rock-solid job opportunities

Mineral geoscience is all about Earth’s mineral resources—their nature, origin, distribution, discovery and uses.

Geoscientists explore for metallic and non-metallic deposits and find environmentally safe ways to dispose of waste materials from mining.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Science (Mineral Geoscience) prepares you for an interesting, well-paid and diverse career in the minerals and energy sector. You will:

• take integrated and extended geology and geophysics courses
• learn about mining, engineering and mineral resources
• build a broad understanding of the industry
• benefit from extensive field work and direct exposure to geoscience professionals.

Where could it take you?

Mineral geoscience graduates are in high demand. You might work in exploration, making the calls on where next to drill for diamonds. You could journey below the surface as an underground mine geologist. Perhaps you’ll work on solutions for repairing the environmental impacts of mining.
