About the Trip

The annual UBC Mining Graduate Research Trip has been a tradition in our department since 2005. Since the first trip to Brazil, students have been all over the world to places like Botswana, South Africa, Chile, China, Australia, and Indonesia.

​

The goal of these trips is to learn about mining challenges, opportunities, and solutions in a culture other than our own. As we believe mining to be a truly global industry, we hope to take these experiences and apply them throughout our careers.

​​

The location for the 2018 grad research trip is Peru!
