The Mining Engineering degree programme provides the knowledge and understanding of geology, rock mechanics, engineering design, economics, surveying, management and associated practical skills that will enable you to make a valuable contribution as soon as you are employed.

Our degree programme is truly multidisciplinary, including elements of civil and  mechanical engineering, geology, metallurgy, economics, environmental management and health and safety. They’re also highly vocational, so in addition to lecture-based study, the programmes include field trips, tours, a summer industrial placement and practical classes in surveying and in our test mine.
