McGill University, Bachelor of Engineering in Mining Engineering, Duration

Mining Engineering is a complex and interdisciplinary field involving elements of geological, civil, mechanical, and materials engineering. A Professional Mining Engineer can plan, design, organize and supervise the development of mines, mine facilities, systems, and equipment, and can also prepare and supervise the extraction of metallic or non-metallic minerals and ore from underground or surface mines.

Labour market forecasts show that Mining Engineers are highly desirable in the workforce in Canada and around the world for a variety of career options such as fieldwork, management, and academia. The Bachelor of Mining Engineering program is a Co-op program where students work 12-16 months within the minerals, mining, oil, and gas, and energy sectors.

While many industrial jobs are in Quebec, some 60% of the co-op work terms are outside of the province. Canadian and international students can work in most locations all over the globe depending on opportunities.
