SCGEO3116 Economic geology
This unit provides students with a solid grounding in the fundamental concepts and skills they will need to put their work in the minerals industry into its geological context. The unit describes the formation and occurrence of the major ore deposit styles in both space and time, and gives students the opportunity to improve their rock and mineral identification skills through observing samples from a range of world-class deposits. Students will also work in a multidisciplinary team to examine an important ore deposit.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
