Global Mining Management
Welcome
What better place to host this specialization than at one of the world's leading business schools, located in the heart of one of the world's leading countries when it comes to mining. Canada has a long history of mining and a depth of expertise that exists not only in the mining companies but also in the banks, legal firms, and engineering and consulting companies that service the sector.
All this experience and knowledge is at our doorstep and will be tapped to provide an educational experience that will position our graduates for the many job opportunities that exist in mining companies globally as well as within the service-related mining sector companies.
Our curriculum will be supplemented with experiences outside the classroom, including attendance at industry events, strategic consulting reports carried out at mining companies, and mine site visits and internships that will give our students hands-on exposure to the industry.
I urge you to consider the many benefits of this unique program offered by a business school that is truly global, innovative and renowned for incorporating sustainability in its business programs.
