Program Overview

The Mining Exploitation Program provides students with solid foundations both in the theoretical and practical aspects of mining. Students will be able to:


  • Assimilate and master concepts related to mining engineering,
  • Understand the mineral industry within the global and Algerian context,
  • Develop an understanding of all processes and stages involved, from deposit exploration to mine operation,
  • Identify and apply feasibility and profitability analysis methods for mining projects,
  • Master decision-making tools to select mining methods based on geological, geomechanical conditions, and operational factors,
  • Achieve proficiency in applied mathematics, object geometry, and prior knowledge of statistics.


By the completion of the program, the knowledge and skills acquired enable graduates to develop expertise in:


  • Open-pit and underground mining operations, including slope stability studies and underground mining structures,
  • The rehabilitation of mining sites and post-mining activities,
  • Environmental protection.


In addition to the mining sector, graduates can find career opportunities in various fields such as energy, administration, and beyond.
