Mining Engineering

All applicants are considered individually on merit although we usually require a 2:2 honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant science or engineering discipline.

Overview

• For engineers and geologists already in employment and looking for skills and knowledge enhancement, or geology and engineering graduates keen to specialise in mining, general management and excavation (geotechnics and tunnelling)
• Taught by the internationally established Camborne School of Mines (CSM), a combined mining school and geoscience department
• Learn specialist analytical, design and management skills that are relevant to the mining industry
• Have the opportunity to undertake projects directly linked with industry, which may result in industrial placements for their project period.
• Benefit from excellent links with the local and international minerals industry, and learn alongside a cohort of students from around the world.

A unique benefit studying at Camborne School of Mines is the community and relations you will gain both during, and after your studies. Camborne School of Mines has a world-class reputation and excellent alumni network, allowing our graduates to prosper in their respective fields in all corners of the globe:

“I have worked in many places around the world and have yet to visit a country where I could not find at least one CSM graduate. In fact, there are normally several and they can often be found in influential positions.”

Tim Henderson, CSM graduate and current Technical Director at Glencore
