UNSW Mining Engineering is also a
member of Mining Education Australia
(MEA). In conjunction with the Minerals
Council of Australia, MEA is a national
initiative comprising 4 member
universities - UNSW, UQ, WASM (Curtin)
and Adelaide. MEA boasts a national
mining engineering curriculum for 3rd
and 4th years – so you will be taught by
a comprehensive team of over 30 mining
academics across the country.
