Mining Major

Number of units: 8 Total credit points: 48

After successfully completing the first two years of study at CQUniversity completing the Core courses and the courses listed below, students then enrol and transfer their course credits via QTAC to the University of Queensland where they complete their final two years of study in mining engineering. Under the CQUni - UQ partnership, the mining specialisation is unable to accept international students through CRICOS.

Please note: Mining students need to apply directly to QTAC for third year entry and credit towards a University of Queensland mining engineering degree. The University of Queensland does not offer its courses in distance mode so students beginning this major will need to be physically located in Brisbane for the final two years of their study.

Available units
Students must complete the following compulsory units:
MATH12222 Advanced Mathematical Applications
