Our subsoil is a unique natural capital! However, to transform it into social, human and natural capital, we need a truly highly qualified mining engineer. Traditionally, our University trains exactly these types of specialists, giving them worthy knowledge that helps them become real intellectuals who are always distinguished by their high standards of moral and ethical culture, broad education, decency and nobility of soul.
