Engineering - Mineral & Mining 2018

Although Colorado School of Mines has retained its place as the best university for studying mineral & mining engineering, there’s plenty of change below them in the top 10. Only Curtin University (second) and Queen’s University (sixth) are the other non-movers.

Australian universities continue to impress for this subject, with six institutions in the top - more than any other country. Of those, both the University of Western Australia (UWA) and the University of Adelaide have climbed four places since last year.
