The Department of Mining Engineering is one of the key departments of the University and provides education in the field of mining and mineral deposit development, including hands-on training at industrial cites.
The Department provides students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for a successful career in the challenging and dynamic mining industry.
Its main goal is to educate and prepare future mining professionals.
The Department organizes lectures, seminars, laboratory sessions, and practical training for all students, from undergraduate to graduate.
Students gain knowledge in geology, mining engineering (including both open-pit and underground), mineral resource development, deposit extraction technologies, occupational safety, environmental protection, and other key areas related to the mining sector.
Fundamental Knowledge
The geomechanical modelling of rock masses and the assessment of how mining operations impact the stress and deformation of surrounding rocks;
Design and optimization of open-pit mining systems, including the development of theoretical and engineering approaches for modern quarries;
Resource-efficient surface mining technologies aimed at improving productivity while reducing environmental impact and energy use;
Construction and support technologies for deep underground workings in complex geological and mining conditions;
Methods for evaluating and predicting ground movement and surface deformation caused by mining activities, including their impact on infrastructure and nearby facilities;
Geometric and quality modeling of mineral deposits to optimize extraction parameters and ensure efficient use of raw materials.
