\n

The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Mining Engineering (Program code: BSc-DME) at the University of Mosul, College of Petroleum and Mining Engineering, is a four-year, full-time undergraduate program comprising 4 levels and 8 semesters, delivered under the Bologna Process with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The program totals 240 ECTS credits (30 ECTS per semester) across 51 modules, with 1 ECTS equivalent to 25 hours of student workload (6,000 total student workload hours), in accordance with the Modules Catalogue 2025-2026 and Program Catalogue 2025-2026.<\/p>\n

Mining Engineering is considered one of the vital engineering disciplines concerned with the study and utilization of mineral and natural resources found within the Earth’s crust, including minerals, rocks, ores, and mineral deposits, contributing significantly to industrial and economic development. The academic program aims to provide students with fundamental and advanced scientific knowledge and engineering skills in the fields of mineral exploration, extraction processes, mine design, ore processing, and mining operations management, with emphasis on the technical, economic, and environmental aspects associated with the mining industry.<\/p>\n

The program begins by establishing strong scientific and engineering foundations during the early stages of study through courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering drawing, and earth sciences, in addition to the basic principles of Mining Engineering. In the advanced stages, the curriculum progressively focuses on specialized subjects such as surface and underground mining operations, rock mechanics, mine ventilation, exploration techniques, mineral reserve evaluation, ore processing, occupational safety, and mining management. The program emphasizes the development of students’ abilities in engineering analysis, problem-solving, and the application of modern software and technologies in mining engineering, and promotes scientific research skills, self-learning, teamwork, and professional communication. The curriculum includes laboratory and field training, and students are required to complete a graduation project (4th<\/sup> year) addressing an engineering problem or practical application in Mining Engineering under the supervision of specialized academic staff.<\/p>\n
