Master of Science - International Mineral Resources Management
Learn about the multiple and complex challenges facing the energy industry, such as decarbonization, wide scale digitization, and decentralization.
A mining sector decision-maker, such as a CEO, government minister, or managing director, has to understand competing views, compare their implications, and determine a suitable way forward. Students will be equipped to become or to assist C-suite decision-makers. They will learn to be competent in the design and implementation of alternative courses of action in the mining sector.
Students will learn to analyze, synthesize, and articulate concepts and practices relevant to the energy industry. They will understand the fundamental drivers of various energy markets, such as oil, gas, and electric power. Students will acquire foundational and contextual knowledge and skills in management, through classroom and work-based learning, and coaching from specialist academics or senior industry professionals.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
