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.

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

• get hands-on with plenty of field work and exposure to industry in this high-demand field
• learn about mining, engineering and mineral resources
• explore Earth's mineral resources - their nature, origin, distribution, discovery and uses
• see rocks in their natural habitat, study the oceans and learn how to read history from the Earth
• take integrated and extended geology, tectonics and geophysics courses.
