About the program
Students, who specialize in “Mine Surveying" receive training in geology, geometrization of deposits, mining technologies, surveying works for the development of mineral deposits, industrial safety at hazardous facilities. The study of the state-of-the-art instruments and technologies for providing surveying support in both underground and open-pit mining is also included in the curriculum. A mining engineer-surveyor supervises the development of mineral deposits during all stages of the complete cycle at a mining enterprise: from the stage of design, construction and working-off to the conservation or liquidation of an enterprise. The future specialists learn to use up-to-date instruments such as electronic total stations and levelers, satellite GNSS receivers with photo scanning functions, ground and air laser scanners, unmanned aerial vehicles and many more; a wide range of software programs for processing geospatial data via software tools such as Panorama, CREDO, AutoCAD, Photomod, MapInfo, MicroMine, MineFrame and others. Mining engineer-surveyor is a profession with exellent employment opportunities in the field of subsoil use, geodesy, topography, engineering surveys.
Learning outcomes
- Use up-to-date special purpose geodetic instruments and software for performing geodetic and mine surveying works
- Perform works for providing mine surveying support at all stages of mine enterprise existence
- Use up-to-date special purpose geodetic instruments and software for performing geodetic and mine surveying works
- Create, develop and reconstruct mine surveying and geodetic networks and provide the unity of reference frame at mining enterprises
- Conduct mine surveying works during the design, construction, maintenence,conservation or liquidation of a mining enterprise
- Supervise displacements and deformations at mine workings, examine geodynamic processes of the Earth surface changes while developing mineral deposits
Career opportunities
The graduates with a degree in “Mine Surveying” can work as mining engineers at any mining enterprise, where all up-to-date technologies of performing mine surveying works (underground, open-pit, combined and others) are applied. They can also get a job at oil and gas exploration and production companies, at geodetic facilities, construction companies, etc. The graduates can be district or chief mine surveyors, or hold leading positions at mining enterprises (chief engineers, directors of design organizations) in any regions of the Russian Federation as well as abroad. Our partners are leading enterprises of mining industry in Russia such as “Gasprom”, “Alrosa”, “Polimetal”, “Polyus Gold International”, Siberian Coal Energy Company, “Nornickel” and many others domestic and foreign companies.
