Course recognition program
AusIMM’s course recognition program helps current and prospective students make future-ready choices about their education
The undergraduate courses listed have been reviewed by AusIMM committees and endorsed by the AusIMM Board. We have determined that these courses provide an appropriate level of education for students.
Graduates of these courses are guaranteed eligibility to apply for Associate, Member and Fellow grades of AusIMM membership, with the appropriate level of experience. Students and graduates of courses not included in the list of recognised courses are still eligible to apply for AusIMM membership.
AusIMM’s list of recognised undergraduate courses related to mining
Recognised Social Performance courses:
Social performance in the resource sector is a broad and diverse discipline and, as such, no specific undergraduate courses are focused predominately on this area. Graduates who have taken university courses in relevant disciplines as part of their degree, and who have the appropriate level of experience, are eligible to apply for AusIMM membership. Relevant disciplines include, but are not limited to, sociology, anthropology, ethnography, archaeology, social science, economics and community development studies.
