Mining Engineering
The course in Mining Engineering is aimed at providing broad
based knowledge, training, skills and experience in the areas
required in mining engineering.
Upon satisfactory completion of the course, students should
be able to practise in areas requiring skills for mine planning
and design, rock excavation, water and gas drainage and mine
environment control. Graduates, therefore, will be able to
integrate technical, planning, organisational, management
and financial skills with an emphasis on those areas as their
talents allow.
The degree can be combined with Environmental or Civil Engineering in second year. Double degrees are also available.
