The programme provides specialist analytical, design and management skills. The MSc provides skill enhancement for engineers and geologists already employed in the mining, minerals, quarrying and civil engineering industries. It is also suitable for geology and engineering graduates wishing to specialise in either of the following main study areas: mine and general management; excavation (geotechnics and tunnelling).
The programme has excellent links with both the local and international minerals industry, which is reflected in its mix of UK and international students
Taught modules take place at the Camborne School of Mines; projects are often company-based.

The CSM lecturers have had a great deal of industrial experience, especially in consultancy, so the wealth of experience they share is second to none. Their contacts within industry also enhance networking opportunities tremendously. In fact, it was through a CSM alumnus that I obtained an industrial thesis project working for the Snowden Group at BHP Billiton’s Mount Whaleback iron ore operation in Western Australia. Whilst there I was offered a place on their Graduate Scheme and I’m now six months from obtaining my Quarry Managers Certificate, with a very solid foundation for my future career.
