The Mining department also provides an introductory course in Mining for Science students majoring in Geology, and is responsible for Topics in Mineral Processing included in the subjects Metallurgy Parts I, 11 and III, which are studied by students of Metal- lurgical Engineering, Science or Applied Science.
Post Graduate training and research within the department, in mining or in mineral processing, can lead to the higher degrees of master of Engineering Science, or master of Sciеnсе, and doctor of Philosophy. There is also available the professional degree of master of Engineering in Mining Engineering or Mineral Engineering.

SURVEYING
The department of Surveying was established in 1949. Its function is to impart knowledge of the methods and instruments used in making measurements of natural and artificial features so that their absolute or relative positions can be accurately determined and if necessary shown on a plan or map. As such, the department continues and furthers the work commenced within the University when the first lecturer in Surveying was appointed in 1861.
The department has three full-time and two part-time lecturers on its staff and provides instruction for students pursuing degree courses designed to fit them for careers in which a knowledge of Surveying is one of the essentials.
The course leading to the degree of bachelor of Surveying is of four years duration.
The first year is similar to most Engineering courses and consists of a basic training in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering and Statistics. Studies in the second and subsequent years become progressively more specialized in the fields of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and of course, Surveying.
The fourth year is devoted almost exclusively to the study of Surveying including Astronomy, Geodesy and Photogrammetry, and includes short courses in the legal aspects of Surveying as well as Town Planning.
The degree of bachelor of Surveying was conferred for the first time in 1953, and that of master of Surveying in 196о.
Graduates in Surveying who wish to obtain a Licence to practise as cadastral surveyors on title definition in Victoria are exempted from nearly all the examinations of the Surveyors' Board of Victoria, but are obliged to serve between fifteen and eighteen months under articles of apprenticeship with a licensed surveyor on land boundary definition. The Surveyors' Board gives some credit for cadastral work performed under a licensed surveyor during University vacations.
A degree in Surveying qualifies the graduate for Associate Membership of the Institution of Surveyors, Australia, and, after two years professional experience such an Associate can progress to Corporate Membership. Undergraduates are eligible for Student Membership.
Graduates are encouraged to continue their studies and present themselves as candidates for the degrees of master of Surveying Science, master of Surveying or the degree of doctor of Philosophy.
Australia is a large and relatively unmapped continent and urgently requires educated young men with spirit and integrity to enter the Surveying profession and carry on the work which is the basis of a significant portion of Engineering and Legal Practice, and is a prerequisite of national development.
