The Extended Diploma in Mine Surveying at UJ provides an additional foundational year before students progress into the mainstream mine surveying curriculum. The programme develops the mathematical and scientific foundations required for accurate spatial measurement in mining environments, supporting students who demonstrate strong potential for the profession but require further academic preparation. Mine surveyors are safety-critical professionals under South African mining law, and this extended route broadens access to a well-paying, regulated career in one of South Africa's most important industries.
