In addition to our research-based postgraduate programmes, CSM provides postgraduate taught MSc programmes in Mining Geology, Industrial Rocks and Minerals, Mining Engineering and Minerals Engineering. The modular nature of these programmes allows them to be completed on a part-time basis over a maximum of three years. Full details of these programmes are given below. Applications When completing your application form you are asked to give the programme code. Codes for taught programmes are shown after the title of the programme in this prospectus.

The group comprises biologists, hydrogeologists, mineralogists and chemists, providing a multidisciplinary research group. Key research programmes include the development of technologies related to engineered wetlands for the treatment of acid mine drainage and the use of industrial minerals in the reclamation of metal contaminated land. In addition, the group is examining the geochemical dispersal of mine waste contaminants within the coastal zone. Research in Minerals Engineering builds upon the School's traditional strength in the processing of metal ores and includes research on industrial minerals and also waste processing and recycling with the establishment of the Waste Test and Research Centre.
