This MSc course is run jointly by the Department of Earth Science and Engineering and Tanaka Business School. The entry requirement is normally a degree in engineering, the physical sciences or economics, which has a substantial mathematics element. Appropriate experience, while not essential, would be an advantage.
The course is intensive and runs for almost a full year starting in early October and finishing in mid-September. It comprises formal classroom-based teaching, practical classes and seminars in the autumn and spring terms.
Focus areas are:
* Cash flow modelling
* Mineral deposits studies
* Petroleum engineering
* Petroleum geology
* Accounting
* Mathematical techniques in finance
* Resource evaluation
* Metals and energy project appraisal and finance
* Management of projects, markets and supplies
* Minerals engineering
* Extraction metallurgy
* Quantitative finance and strategic management
Students with backgrounds in mathematics are required to follow a European language option. Students who would benefit from supportive teaching in mathematical techniques are offered this as an alternative.
In March, students join the Centre for Professional Development's course on mineral project appraisal and finance, which provides an executive overview of many key technical and financial issues covered in the MSc programme. This enables students to understand how different components of the course interrelate and obtain independent perspectives of the relevance of what they have covered from the other delegates.
An excursion of at least 10 days to a region of active mining, downstream metal and mineral processing and energy development will be arranged for the third and fourth weeks of the summer term. This is a key component of the degree programme, providing first-hand experience of all aspects of the extraction industry. It also reinforces the practical application of the theoretical material covered in the first two terms.
Students are prepared for the planning and execution of their research project by classroom training in advanced techniques and developments in finance, science and engineering, as well as by the importance we place on undertaking an independent excursion report. During the formal teaching programme, students are encouraged to identify topics of particular interest with a view to developing the basis for their dissertation. Contact with professionals working in metals, energy and financial organisations through the excursion and the continuing professional development course also provides opportunities for students to secure internships in the mining, oil and gas sector or the investment banking community, which can help with the generation of dissertations. Work on the dissertation is undertaken between July and September.
The programme:
* produces graduates equipped to pursue careers in the technical and financial appraisal of natural energy and mineral resource projects
* offers traditional minerals-related training directly applicable to a career in the minerals industry
* introduces key technical and geological concepts relevant to petroleum projects
* enhances career opportunities in the financial services and petroleum industries
* provides the basis for an understanding of quantitative finance, accounting and strategic management within the context of technical principles that apply specifically to mineral and energy projects
* responds to the importance of the City of London as a global centre for mining and energy finance by providing knowledge of corporate finance, the equity markets, debt finance, metals markets and associated derivative markets
* provides training in financial modelling, financial engineering and in the techniques of risk modelling
* enhances entrepreneurial skills
* provides the skills needed to undertake independent research projects both in industry and in a university environment
