Only students that can provide evidence of financial and logistical support, and provide a research proposal will be considered for full-time admission. Students that are considering taking the course on a full-time basis must contact the program co-ordinator, Dr Rob Scott, to discuss their plans.
Course objectives are to increase and update the knowledge and skills required by geoscientists for the exploration and exploitation of mineral deposits. These objectives are accomplished through completion of six short courses and an in depth research project OR eight short courses. The courses will cover a spectrum of topics relevant to the exploration mining industries.
Career outcomes
This course is for geoscientists who want to increase their knowledge and skills, while gaining a thorough up-date of advances across the spectrum of economic geology.

General requirements
CRICOS Code: 010959F
Bachelor of Science with Honours is the normal entry qualification. As this course is aimed at professional geologists it would be expected that applicants have a major in Geology/Geoscience. However, for students without this qualification the entry requirements will depend on whether the applicants come from a professional industry background.
Applicants from industry without a Bachelor of Science with Honours degree will require the following:
- Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science (Applied); and
- A minimum of two years' experience working as a professional geologist in industry or a government institution.
