Programme

Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering

An undergraduate program entitled the Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering is designed to give students a thorough Education in the Mining and Mineral resource extraction fields. This program prepares students for an enjoyable occupation in the mining industry by fusing technical knowledge, Engineering principles, and practical skills. Mining techniques, mineral exploration, mine planning and design, rock mechanics, ventilation in mines, mineral processing, environmental management, and mine safety are just a few of the many topics covered in the curriculum. The full mining life cycle-from exploration and feasibility studies to production and mine closure will be covered in the curriculum for students. They will acquire knowledge of the engineering concepts and methods required for the sustainable and effective extraction of mineral resources
