Overview

From phones to bikes to toothpaste, we are surrounded by products that rely on mining. All raw materials used by society, aside from plants, need to be extracted from the earth. As the world moves towards green energy, mined materials continue to be in high demand. Some mined materials are needed in even larger quantities to help make green technologies.

To be a mining engineer, you need to have a broad range of knowledge. In this Mining Engineering BSc course from Queen's University , you'll learn about every aspect of work that goes into a mining project - from the initial discovery stage to marketing the final product. You will also learn basic electrical, civil, geological, mechanical, and chemical engineering concepts.

Career opportunities:

Mining engineering is a career full of opportunities for adventure and travel. There are several opportunities for our students to travel throughout the program. Our undergraduate program typically includes field trips to international mines, with recent field trips to Arizona and Nevada. You will also have the opportunity to go on a paid internship or even go on exchange.

As the largest mining department in Canada, and among the largest in the world, our alumni account for more than 25% of all Canadian-graduated mining and mineral processing engineers. Our program will prepare you for careers in the minerals industry and related environmental and technological fields.
