The Mining and Quarrying program is designed for students interested in the exploration, exploitation and development of mineral raw materials.
The Mining and Quarrying program gives you the field knowledge and numerical modeling skills needed to detect and develop new mining prospects and to optimize their exploitation.
Practical work and field school will give you the opportunity to apply the theoretical lessons.
A group project will cultivate your judgment, your critical sense and your ability to work in a team.
