“When I was looking for UK universities I found Exeter and chose it because it is a Russell Group University and one of the top 200 universities in the world…I knew I wanted to study environmental studies that could be applied to the mining sector and MSc Mining Environmental Management is the perfect programme for this.
The programme itself is so wonderful and I particularly love the multidisciplinary aspect to the programme which covers various engineering and mining topics. The world is currently facing a lot of problems concerning mining waste so this Masters programme really focuses on real world issues, and we get to learn about how to deal with these issues and remedy them. I find it a very rich and interesting programme to study. I’m so happy to be here studying…it’s definitely well designed for someone who wants to work in the mining and environmental management sector.
I’ve also been really impressed with the quality of our lecturers who are always there to give guidance and provide you with all the materials that you want. Our lecturers are always ready to give us help if we need some extra support, we can just email them with any question and they will always reply which is amazing.
I also really like the research facilities available to us as we have many types of equipment in the labs so you can do your research and have all the equipment you need. When I was researching universities I found that a lot of other universities in Europe don’t have these facilities but we do at the Penryn Campus. It’s very good if you want to use that to do some in-depth research.
I’ve always wanted to contribute to a better world by improving the use of natural resources in a sustainable way, so I’d like to find a job contributing to solve the issues relating to the environment and sustainability. This could be in the mining sector or working for NGOs looking at responsible mining. I’m also thinking of doing a PhD later down the line so maybe I will be back! ”
