Metals and minerals are essential to modern life, and their extraction and processing form part of a huge, worldwide industry. The School of Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering has widespread activities in mining, quarrying, mineral processing, landfill engineering, materials recycling and environmental monitoring, all of which are reflected in this accredited Mining and Mineral Engineering degree course. Students can specialise in mining engineering, quarrying or mineral process engineering in year 3. We have close links with many major mining companies, several of whom provide substantial scholarships or vacation employment. Not surprisingly, career prospects and salaries in the industry are excellent.
