University of Mines and Technology - UMaT Speciality : Mineral & Mining Engineering
programme: Mining Engineering

UMaT is the best and only school I would recommend to anyone who would like to offer a course in Mining Engineering. It has experienced professionals from the various industries who are now working as lecturers. Moreover, there’s a difference between someone who has never been to the mining industry but teaching a course related to mining and someone who has hands-on practical experience from the industry teaching the same course.Guess what! The industry personnel explains everything in simple terms unlike the other person who would just be teaching you based on books.

Aside the studies, extracurricular activities like Sports, artiste night , SRC week , Inter- denominational bible quiz etc are organised by the school at appropriate intervals. Nevertheless, impactful seminars and conferences are also organised by the school where they invite other industry professionals to have a one – on – one interaction with the students about how life at the industry is and in addition provide some tips we would need as we are preparing to enter the industry.

Also we have organizations like Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AuSIMM), Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE) , Youth Arise Organization (YAO), Girls in Science and Technology (GIST) etc where you get to network with other people, partake in Fieldtrips and many more.
