Overview

Master of Applied Science in Mining Engineering

The Master of Applied Science is a Research degree requiring a thesis.   

Students at UBC can specialize in any of the following areas:  

social issues in mining, mining engineering, mineral processing, mining, and the environment, Rock mechanics, Mine Economics, Safety, Corporate Social Responsibility, etc.

Backed by an unparalleled reputation for expertise and innovation in mineral extraction, mineral processing, and environmental protection, the graduate program in Mining Engineering has two types of students in mind:

  • Those from the industry who wish to improve their workplace skills; and
  • Those who wish to pursue research leading to advances in state-of-the-art or state-of-the-practice mining and mineral process engineering.

In order to best meet the needs of these two groups, the program encourages interaction between universities in North America and other countries. 

In many cases, this collaborative outlook leads to joint research projects and student exchanges.
