Education in mining and rock excavation in Sweden

• Education in Mining and Rock Excavation in Sweden can be subdivided into higher education, upper secondary school education and in-service training. Higher education is provided at the University of Lulea and leads to a Masters degree and to a Licentiate or Doctor of Engineering degree in mining. The higher education curriculum was replanned in connection with the move to Lulea in 1972 from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm to involve higher specialization and to cover both the mining and the underground construction sectors. The upper secondary school education is given at the College of Mining and Metallurgy in Filipstad and leads to a secondary-school engineering degree. In-service training courses are given for working professionals by the Division of Advanced Vocational Training in Lulea and by equipment suppliers. Vocational training is pursued at some upper secondary schools in cooperation with the mining companies.
