ADVISORY BOARD
The School Advisory Board was appointed in 2009. It comprises industrialists from companies with association with the School of Mines and Mineral Sciences through a history of providing student placements and projects, involvement with collaborative research or consultancy of specific industrial relevance to the School.
While we constantly strive to keep our course-curricula up-to-date, we recognise the unique opportunity that the School Advisory Board can offer in giving us real industrial input into our programmes. The Board assists in commenting on and helping in improving course provision and content, which in turn will assist students to acquire skills that are more relevant to the job market.
The Board consists of members from the industry, the Heads of Department in the School, as well as some lecturers in the School. The Board had its first meeting on 17th June 2009; the following is current membership:
