Our BEng Mining Engineering degree program is taught by the University of Exeter’s Camborne School of Mines (CSM), which has been training mining engineers for more than a century and has an international reputation.

Many extractive industry operations around the world will have a CSM mining engineer somewhere within their staff and there is an active network of more than 1,000 graduates.

CSM is one of the best-equipped departments of its kind in Europe. Our staff is actively involved in research and you will benefit from their cutting-edge knowledge and our research facilities.

The Mining Engineering degree program provides the knowledge and understanding of geology, rock mechanics, engineering design, economics, surveying, management and associated practical skills that will enable you to make a valuable contribution as soon as you are employed. In addition to the lecture-based study, the program includes field trips, tours, a summer industrial placement and practical classes in surveying.
