The study of Mining Engineering offers you a global profession that encompasses a range of activities involving technology, people, financial resources, community and government. This four-year degree will help you understand how complex mining systems work and the socio-environmental aspects of mining operations.

Petroleum Engineering sees you apply chemistry, physics, geology and economics to the discovery, development and production of energy and material resources below the Earth’s surface. This degree prepares you for careers in the oil and gas industries, by developing skills that will set you apart in the workplace.

With the Bachelor of Mining Engineering Transfer Program, you’ll undertake your first two years of study at the University of Newcastle before transferring to, and graduating from, UNSW. 

Gain two Engineering degrees in less time than studying them sequentially. By adding mining or petroleum to your studies, you’ll be able to apply your knowledge to more industries.
