BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The Faculty of Mining was one of five faculties of the newly established Hanoi University of Mining and Geology in 1966. It is the oldest faculty in the university and the only institution in Vietnam to provide undergraduate and post-graduate programs in mining and mineral engineering. During more than 50 years of history, the faculty members have been improved in both number and quality. Recently, Faculty of Mining has 54 academic staff which includes one Professor, seven Associate Professors, and 25 lecturers with the Ph.D. degree. The academic structure of the faculty is also changing to adapt to the requirements of society. At present, the faculty consists of four departments, including:
- Department of Surface Mining
- Department of Underground Mining
- Department of Mineral Processing
- Department of Material Strengths
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
* Undergraduate programs
- Surface Mining
- Underground Mining
- Mineral Processing
- Metallurgy
* Graduate programs
The faculty offers Master and Doctor Programs in the field of Mining engineering, and Mineral Processing
RESEARCH
The academic members of the Faculty of Mining have accomplished over 20 state-level projects, 70 ministerial-level projects, more than 100 university-level research projects, seven pilot projects, and more than 400 scientific research contracts. The research activities and interests are focused on surface mining, underground mining, mineral processing, sustainable mining, safety and health in mining activities and material strengths.
The faculty has close partnerships with many domestic, regional and international companies, research centers and educational institutions.
