Mining Engineering
Mining engineering is a major for people passionate about the sciences and looking for a challenging job in an attractive and changing environment. If you belong to this group, this could be a subject that would be of interest to you and give you the opportunity to develop in this field. The reality of the mining world is changing rapidly and technologies are developing all the time. This is made possible by computerisation, robotisation and the development of digitalisation, which are the combined result of mathematical and natural sciences. Techniques and modern technologies for the extraction of raw materials and the operation of mining machinery are other topics that will have no secrets from you. Mining engineering also focuses on developing your ability to work in a team andleadership skills. This will enable you to lead a group of people and take on managerial positions in the future. Help us get to the 3.0, or even 4.0, stage of Mining!
