The NBK Institute offers an innovative Master of Engineering Program in Mining Engineering, providing a world-class professional development program akin to an MBA. It is designed for professionals and engineering graduates eager to upgrade skills to build a strong foundation for a successful, exciting career in the global mining industry.

The purpose of a MEng degree is to increase a student’s skills and knowledge in a particular aspect of mining or mineral processing. This program has similar admission requirements to our MASc and offers the same courses — but instead of a thesis, students are expected to take additional courses.

Since the MEng is a technical degree, students must have an undergraduate degree in a mining-related discipline in engineering or science.
