Teaching to the Mining Cycle is easy if you have the right mix of courses, the right opportunities for providing students, all students including undergraduate, graduate and returning professionals with the best programming possible.

However, it is not just the best programming, it is the location of school, it is the opportunity to meet with professionals working in your chosen career, it is the opportunity to work alongside a living laboratory.

The Goodman School of Mines is located adjacent to one of the best mining camps in the world and on the edge of some of the most productive and fertile geology in the world. It is not just a world for Earth Scientists or Engineers, it is a world for students of Commerce, Indigenous Studies, Ecologists and Biologists and students working in Occupational Safety and Health who are striving to make the workplace a safe place to work.

Our campuses also hosts world-class research centres!

We teach to the Mining Cycle – discover the right programs for you.
