矿产资源硕士（勘探地质学）支持地球科学专业人士发展经济地质和矿产勘探（包括煤炭）方面的高级技能。该计划的结构允许访问一系列地球科学选修课。该计划广泛地培养了矿床和勘探地质，地球化学，地球物理学和地统计学及其在矿床和能源资源发现和评估中的应用的技能毕业生。重点是数据分析和管理，以及软件在资源评估和地质建模中的使用。一个研究项目将进一步发展分析，计算和研究技能。核心学术人员具有丰富的行业经验，大多数项目都是与行业合作伙伴合作进行的。
The Master of Mineral Resources (Exploration Geology) supports geoscience professionals to develop advanced skills in economic geology and mineral exploration (including coal). The program structure allows access to a range of geoscience electives. The program broadly skills graduates in ore deposit and exploration geology, geochemistry, geophysics and geostatistics, and their application to the discovery and evaluation of ore deposits and energy resources. There is an emphasis on data analysis and management, and the use of software in resource estimation and geological modelling. A research project will further develop analytical, computational and research skills. Core academic staff have significant industry experience and most projects are undertaken in collaboration with industry partners.
