Sudbury serves as an international hub for mining technology and research, hosting the planet's biggest clusters for mineral exploration and mining services. The city boasts two of the globe's deepest mines and serves as the corporate base for multiple multinational mining firms. After suffering from industrial pollution for years, Sudbury has gained UN recognition for its remarkable environmental recovery efforts, now known as the Sudbury Protocol.
Today, Sudbury leads in providing environmental solutions. Laurentian University's close access to mining sites operated by Vale, Glencore, Kidd Creek, Hemlo, Red Lake, Goldcorp, Placer Dome, and northwestern Quebec mines, along with E.B. Eddy's extensive wood processing plants in Espanola, creates an ideal setting for researching environmental effects, management strategies, and ecosystem restoration.
For admission to M.Eng. or M.A.Sc. degree program, a candidate normally holds a bachelor’s degree in Engineering, with a B standing (70%) in mining, mineral processing, metallurgical, civil, mechanical, chemical or other appropriate branches of engineering. Candidates who hold an Honors B.Sc. in chemistry, geology, physics or another appropriate discipline are considered for admission to the M.A.Sc. program. However, before being admitted to this program, such candidates may be required to successfully complete some qualifying courses drawn from the undergraduate engineering curriculum.
