AQF Level 9
postgraduate coursework programs in
mineral resources
To ensure commercial viability, the minerals and petroleum industry
recognises the need for resource exploration and development
professionals to keep abreast of modern developments in science.
Use this program to expand your
knowledge of emerging mineral and
petroleum exploration technologies
and how to increase efficiencies in the
technical and scientific management
of the mining industry.
Advance your knowledge in key specialist
areas of the minerals industry, gain
analytical skills to enable you to critically
assess alternative solutions to complex
industry problems and be equipped to
investigate and resolve development
and operational problems in a safe
and commercially efficient manner.
Gain exposure to current scientific
knowledge from research experts with
an applied research background and
explore a range of strategies for practical
implementation from experienced industry
associates. Specialise in Exploration
www.uq.edu.au/study
Geology or Exploration Geophysics,
and choose to study from either a broad
stream within the scheduled subjects,
or select from specialist geophysics or
geochemistry streams.
To enhance the flexibility of course
choice, some are conducted through
directed reading and personal tuition
rather than formal classes.
UQ Advantage
You will learn from some of Australia’s
leading geoscientists and UQ’s industry
specialists to incorporate the latest
developments in research and technology
into practical mining industry outcomes.
Career Opportunities
As an early career professional use
your enhanced scientific and technical
knowledge to seek advancement or
additional challenges in your current
workplace or to provide entry into the
employment and career opportunities
in the dynamic minerals sector.
On completion of the program you
may be eligible for membership with
the following professional bodies:
• Australian Institute of Geoscientists
• Australian Society of Exploration
Geophysicists
• Geological Society of Australia
• Society of Exploration Geophysicists
While this degree may be accredited by
an official industry accreditation body in
Australia, completion of the degree may
not result in your automatic accreditation
with them. Please contact the relevant
registration body for details of any
conditions for accreditation. Further study
options include the Master of Philosophy.
Program Structure
In the Graduate Diploma, you will
demonstrate your knowledge with a
mini-thesis that relates to a practical
workplace scenario. In the Master’s
year you will write a complete thesis
on a relevant area of interest. Each
program is run over a standard 13
week university semester and involves
a minimum of 20 hours of study per
week for a full-time enrolment.

“I chose the Master of Mineral Resources because it contained both course
based learning and a research project which allowed me to solidify my geological
knowledge and increase my understanding of the industry. The University of
Queensland’s links to industry, fantastic lecturers and a rating placing it within
the top 100 universities in the world made my decision easy. The Masters of
Mineral Resources has provided me with the knowledge and experience I felt
I had been missing from my undergraduate degree, and I feel I can use it as
an excellent basis on which to build my career.”
