This graduate diploma specializes practising mining engineers in a topic related to the mining industry through an applied, employer-sponsored project rather than coursework alone. The 30-credit program centres on a four-part applied project (methodology, then Project I through IV) supported by a six-credit project report, completed under the guidance of a chosen research director; nine elective credits are chosen from courses covering ore mineralogy, mine backfill, mineral flotation, mining environment and restoration, mine geotechnics, rock mechanics, hydrogeology, mine-effluent treatment, applied geophysics, mine-site restoration, 3D data processing, geological mapping, extractive metallurgy, mineral deposits and geoscience data analysis. Applicants must submit a one-to-two-page project description, an employer or sponsor commitment letter, and a letter of support from a university professor or other qualified referee.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.70 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: On the academic route, candidates need a bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent with a cumulative average of at least 2.7 on 4.3 (or 2.5 on 4.0); files between 2.5 and 2.7 on 4.3 may still be reviewed and recommended for admission in certain cases, and an interview may be required. On the experience route, candidates with relevant knowledge, appropriate training and at least five years of relevant professional experience may be admitted following an evaluation by the program director; such candidates must also have completed the graduate microprogram in mining environment (0468) with a cumulative average of at least 2.7 on 4.3.
