Why study this program?
Mining engineers work in a multidisciplinary field that covers every aspect of the responsible extraction of critical minerals, as well as harnessing clean energy fundamentals to transform society and introduce radical change to accelerate a low carbon, climate-friendly future. These critical minerals and clean energy sources are required to construct the modern amenities we all rely on - cell phones, computers, electric vehicles, solar panels, healthcare infrastructure and much more.
The Mining Engineering program at the University of Alberta is the biggest of its kind in Canada, offering a broad-based program covering subjects ranging from surface and underground mining to physical and mathematical sciences. Our graduates are well equipped to compete and succeed in a variety of careers in industry and government.
Co-op Option
This degree can be taken as a Co-op (co-operative education) program. Through the Co-op program, you will have the opportunity to complete paid, supervised work terms throughout your degree. Co-op programs are a great way to challenge yourself, gain relevant work experience, and make connections to industry before you graduate!
Most co-op programs include five work terms lasting four months each, in addition to the usual eight terms (four years) of full-time study. Therefore, co-op programs require five years to complete.
