Mining Education in Great Britain

In Great Britain the students get mining education at special colleges and at mining depart-ments of universities.
For example, the Mining Department at the University of Nottingham ranks as one of the foremost teaching and research mining schools in Great Britain. The students come to the University from all parts of the country and from abroad. The close proximity of Nottingham to mines ex-tracting coal and different metals makes it possible for the University to keep in close touch with new achievements in mining.
The aim of training at the University is to give the student an understanding of applied sci-ence based on lectures, tutorial system, laboratory work and design classes. The laboratory work trains the student in accurate recording of observations, drawing of logical conclusions and presen-tation of scientific reports. Besides, it gives the student an understanding of experimental methods and familiarizes him (or her) with the characteristics of engineering materials, equipment and ma-chines.
At Nottingham there are two types of laboratories, general and specialized. General labora-tories deal with the fundamentals of engineering science and specialized ones study the more spe-cialized problems in different branches of engineering.
During the final two years of his course the student gets a comprehensive training in survey-ing. Practical work both in the field and in drawing classes forms an important part of this course. Besides, the students have practical work in survey camps during two weeks. The equipment avail-able for carrying out traversing, leveling, tacheometric and astronomical surveying is of the latest design.
The practical and laboratory work throughout the three or four years of study forms a very important part of the course, so the students obtain the required standard in their laboratory course work before they graduate.
British educational system is fee-paying. The annual fee includes registration, tuition, exam-ination, graduation and, in the case of full-time students, membership of the Union of Students.
Students from all over the world (nearly 100 countries) study at the University of Notting-ham. For many years the University has had a thriving community of international students.
The University pays much attention to learning foreign languages. For individual study there is a 16-place self-access tape library4 with a tape archive of 3,000 tapes in 30 languages. There are also 16 video work stations where the students play back video tapes or watch TV broadcasts in a variety of languages.
