Bachelor of Applied Geology (Mining Geology)

Curtin University

Geology is the study of the Earth, its resources and the natural planetary processes that affect people. These include the formation of mineral and energy resources, geological hazards, climate change, and environmental protection and management.

This course will give you a thorough grounding in theoretical geology – with emphasis on mineral, energy and groundwater resources and their environmental management, and the sustainable supply of resources for the decarbonising industry.

You’ll learn about Earth’s fascinating geological processes that affect the environment, climate and resources.

This stream combines studies of resource and field geology with mining systems, resource estimation and process mineralogy. The final year of study is undertaken at Curtin Kalgoorlie.
