Mining Engineering In University of Mines and Technology UMaT

The Mining Engineering Department was instituted in the year 1961, in line with the University of Mines and Technology’s vision of becoming a centre of excellence for producing world class professionals for the mining industries. Accordingly, the Minnning Engineering department was established to train quality human to meet the challenges of the engineering profession in Ghana and beyond.
The department currently runs a four-year Bachelor of Science Degree Programme in Minning Engineering, which aims at providing a solid knowledge of the practical and essential principles of minning.
The programme comprises of taught courses, seminars, fieldtrips, report writing and laboratory work. Assessments of course work are primarily done through quizzes, class assignments, seminars and end of semester examinations. Graduates from the Department are equipped with the skill to identify, model and minning engineering problems.
The minning engineering is resourced with highly efficient personnel and committed academic staff with specialties in the fields of minning. Academic staffs are also committed to research and extension services in their various fields of specialty.
The department has linkages with related industries as well as sister universities home and abroad, this allows for a sharing of knowledge and research to meet the dynamics of the safety world in modern times.
