Decision-making is an integral part of our daily life and profoundly influences our professional mastery. This module focusses on decision-making for engineers and scientists who are active in studies of mineral exploration, resource estimation, mining engineering, mineral processing, and tailings management. 

This module imparts valuable knowledge of essential techniques for understanding the design of sampling campaigns and information contained in data in order to make decisions. 

Technical decision-making skills are useful during individual research projects which follow the taught modules of the CSM MSc programmes and in later life.

As a prerequisite to engage fully with the module, you  are expected to have a basic appreciation of statistics and mathematics. Guidance on appropriate self-study to improve knowledge in these areas can be provided as required.
