Cristian, studying MSc Mining Geology
"I chose Exeter because of the well known Camborne School of Mines programme and the excellent reputation of the English educational system.
The course was a wonderful opportunity for a global outlook about the mining industry and sharing the experience with very nice, responsible and well-prepared colleagues. I enjoyed living in a stunning, peaceful and safe location, but most of all I enjoyed sharing with students from many different countries and backgrounds."
Oliver, studying MSc Mining Engineering
"I really liked the campus and the ease with which one could approach lecturers to ask questions and resolve doubts. All the lecturers have a lot of experience both academically as well as in the mining industry and that gives a lot of confidence and motivation during the program.
I really liked the teaching methodology which is very practical and complements very well the theoretical part. Leaving the MSc you have the immediate ability to work in the field."
