This course has been designed to meet the demand for postgraduates with an understanding of the statutory demand and economic needs for the mining, quarrying and oil industries to conduct all phases of their operations in an environmentally acceptable manner.

By choosing from among the broad range of options available on this course, you will gain an advanced and comprehensive introduction to the specialist environmental engineering skills now required by an engineer in the minerals industries.

On completion of this course, you will possess the complementary engineering skills that are vital to environmental monitoring and control across the wide ranging exploration, planning, production, processing and remediation activities of the minerals industry.

• This course is supported by The Centre for the Environment (CfE), which provides a focus to develop inter-disciplinary approaches to environmental teaching and research within the University
• The School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering offers world-class research and training specifically aimed at understanding how to meet the world’s constantly growing demand for energy, water and raw materials, whilst simultaneously protecting the environment
• Offering a unique combination of engineering skills, the School provides a strong and dynamic environment with close links between research and teaching
• This course draws on three major areas of research activity within the School: cleaner production, processing and use of resources; new ways to recover, recycle and re-use wastes and end-of-life materials; and pollution prevention and control
• The Faculty of Engineering conducts research that has been recognised by the Research Assessment Exercise (2008) as being world-leading or internationally excellent, placing Nottingham in the UK’s top five universities for engineering
