Postgraduate Taught
Mining Engineering at the University of Exeter
Our mining engineering programmes are taught at the internationally established Camborne School of Mines, a combined mining school and geoscience department.
Based at the University’s £100 million Penryn Campus in Cornwall, Camborne School of Mines has an international reputation for research and teaching related to the understanding and management of the Earth's natural processes, resources and the environment.
During your studies you can enjoy access to specialist analytical and research facilities, including geochemical and mineralogical labs, surveying equipment, GIS software, a materials engineering and physical separation lab.
You’ll be taught by experts who are active in internationally-recognised scientific research in a range of topics. This means you get to discuss the very latest ideas, research discoveries and new technologies, becoming actively involved in a research project yourself.
You’ll also benefit from our strong links with industry and excellent relationships with companies from across the globe, such as Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, First Quantum, Glencore and many more.
To boost your employability and practical skills, we offer an extensive range of fieldwork opportunities where you can visit a variety of mining sites throughout your studies.
The CSM Trust is delighted to offer six £5,000 scholarships for exceptional students enrolling in 2024 on a mining or geology related course.
The scholarships will be awarded at the panel’s discretion to the applicants considered most deserving of the award. The successful candidates will be expected to take part in activities to promote studying mining or geology at the University of Exeter. Find out more.
Two scholarships worth £26,500 each are available to students who have had an application accepted to one of the Camborne School of Mines MSc programmes for September 2024 entry. This scholarship programme is funded by a generous donation from London Metal Exchange (LME). As part of the scholarships the successful candidates will have the opportunity to undertake mentoring with LME staff and to work with LME on their dissertation project. Find out more.
