The graduates should be able to provide effective management at the middle to top level in the mining and quarrying industry. The course is aligned to the university’s philosophy, goals and objectives which include positively impacting Jamaica and the wider Caribbean through high quality learning opportunities, research and value-added solutions to government, industry and communities. The course development was supported by the UNDP which seeks to strengthen ailing industries in developing countries such as the mining and quarrying industry in Jamaica.
