The study of mineral geoscience focuses on Earth's mineral wealth—understanding their characteristics, formation, locations, methods of discovery, and practical applications. Professionals in this field investigate both metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits while developing sustainable solutions for managing mining waste. Our Bachelor of Science (Mineral Geoscience) program equips students for rewarding, lucrative careers with diverse opportunities in the minerals and energy industries. Throughout the program, you will:
gain practical experience through extensive fieldwork and industry engagement in this sought-after discipline
study mining operations, engineering principles, mineral resources, and environmental restoration of mining sites
investigate the planet's mineral deposits - examining their properties, formation processes, global distribution, exploration techniques, and industrial uses
observe geological formations in their natural environments, examine marine systems, and develop skills to interpret Earth's history
complete comprehensive coursework in geology, tectonic processes, and geophysical studies.
