Mining Education in Great Britain






1. In Great Britain the students get mining education at special colleges and at mining departments of universities.

2. For example, the Mining Department at the University of Nottingham ranks as one of the foremost teaching and research mining schools in Great Britain. The students come to the Univer­sity from all parts of the country and from abroad.

3. The aim of training at the University is to give the student an understanding of applied science based on lectures, tutorial system1, laboratory work and design classes. The laboratory work trains the student in accurate recording of observations, drawing of logical conclusions and presentation of scientific reports. Besides, it gives the student an understanding of experimental methods and familiarizes him (or her) with the characteristics of engineering materials, equipment and machines.

4. During the final two years of his course the student gets a compre­hensive training in surveying. Practical work both in the field and in drawing classes forms an important part of this course. Besides, the students have practical work in survey camps during two weeks.

5. The practical and laboratory work throughout the three or four years of study forms a very important part of the course, so the students obtain the required standard in their laboratory course work before they graduate.

There are also 16 video work stations where the students play back video tapes or watch TV broadcasts in a variety of languages.
