Monday, November 02, 2020

In a bid to produce relevant skills to ensure ease of industry absorption for graduate students of mining and also to provide services to the local mining sector, Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) have established a Mining Centre (MC).

The BIUST MC intends to bridge gaps in academic teaching of applied mining and related sciences and professional needs of the mining industry.

A mining engineer, Dr Bonny Matshediso, with a wealth of experience in the mines, civil service and academia heads the centre. The BIUST MC is housed at the Palapye based university’s Faculty of Engineering and Technology.
