We offer a cross-discipline approach that focusses on reducing environmental impacts, increasing mineral extractions and increasing the rate of land reclamation. Through their studies students develop a keen understanding of mining, mineral processing, economics, management, environmental studies, as well as community health and well-being. The program offers amazing experiences, real world training, practical knowledge and research opportunities.
