WHY STUDY MINING
ENGINEERING AT UBC?
Consider a career in the mining
industry, one of Canada's leading
industries.
Average weekly earnings
for a mining industry worker is
$1,350.
The Canadian and global
mining industry faces a serious
human resource challenge in
the coming years. The Mining
Industry Human Resource
Council (MiHR) estimated that
the sector will need to hire
10,000 new workers per year
for the next decade. For more
information, see www.mihr.ca
The Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at UBC is the largest
mining school in North America, and one of the top two or three in the world.
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.
