“WASM Wombats” have a proud history of competing in International Mining Competitions. Here are some pictures of the team in Mexico.

About the games

The professional and local involvement in the International Mining Competition is substantial. Mining and service companies, along with professional bodies such as the Society of Mining Engineers (SME), Australian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy (AusIMM) sponsor the competition each year. The competition is attended by anywhere from hundreds to thousands of people each year, depending on the location and promotional efforts of the hosting university. Each year there is media coverage ranging from local papers to nationally televised news programs and professional journals.

There has never been a better time to enjoy all that Australia has to offer by studying to be a Mining Engineer through Australia’s newest mining school Mining Education Australia. MEA is flexible so you can study and travel but most importantly with a current skill shortage in Australia for professionally qualified workers, opportunities have recently opened up for international students who have completed their degree in Australia to stay here and work.
