Anglo American welcomes the reintroduction of the University of Exeter’s Mining Engineering degree programme after a five-year break.
The programme will be delivered at the University of Exeter’s Camborne School of Mines, located at the Penryn Campus in Cornwall, and the first cohort of undergraduate Mining Engineering students are due to be welcomed in the 2025/26 academic year.
The relaunch of the degree programme is part of the University of Exeter’s wider “Engineering 2030 Strategy” that will see an increased portfolio of engineering programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Commenting on the announcement, Matt Daley, Technical & Operations Director at Anglo American, said:
“As one of the world’s leading mining companies, we are delighted that the University of Exeter and the world-class Camborne School of Mines will again be bringing through cohorts of new mining engineers.
“Our industry offers incredible career opportunities for engineers of many disciplines, but mining engineers in particular are set to benefit from an extraordinary era for mining over the next few decades as the world needs ever greater volumes of critical metals and minerals to decarbonise our energy and transport systems, as well as support improving living standards and food security. We look forward to meeting those new graduates in a few years’ time.”
Anglo American is committed to continuously evolving its global graduate programmes to ensure we offer diverse and dynamic career paths for graduates. The reintroduction of this degree programme presents a valuable opportunity for us to support the next generation of mining engineers who will play a crucial role in driving the responsible production of many of the future-enabling metals and minerals needed for a cleaner, greener, more sustainable world.
