Curriculum for Mining Engineers – Mine Surveyors

Currently, the training of specialists is carried out in accordance with two educational standards. Undergraduates are taught according to the standard of 2011, senior students – according to the standard of 2000. Introduction of the new educational standard has made it possible to increase study period from 5 years (9 semesters) to 5.5 years (11 semesters) as well as the number and aggregate duration of academic practices, to expand range of special and general technical subjects, and to provide more balanced distribution of these subjects over semesters.
