1. General Information

The department of mining engineering was established and engineering education was started in 1975. Since 1983, graduate education has been started at Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences of Eskişehir Osmangazi University. Today, undergraduate, graduate and doctorate programs are continuing with success in line with the determined student quotas.

The Master of Science program consists of three branches:

• Mining Operation

• Mineral Processing

• Excavation Mechanization and Technology

The department provides qualified and modern education with sufficient number of well-equipped classrooms and laboratories. It is among the first 6 departments in our country to be preferred among the Mining Engineering Departments.

9. Graduates Employment Opportunities

Our graduates are successfully performing engineering services in the state and private sector. They are also employed in many fields of domestic and foreign companies engaged in exploration, extraction and enrichment. In particular, our graduates work extensively in the mining sectors such as underground mining, open-pit mining and ore enrichment plants, marble mining and processing plants. In addition to these sectors, highways, railways, tunneling work, joint occupational health and safety service providers units, mining bureau services firms, Turkey Iron & Steel Enterprises, State Hydraulic Works, institutions such as cement factories can be listed as employers of our graduates.
