The School of Mines
The mining industry still remains the mainstay of Zambia’s economy and will continue to play an important role in the country's development. It is in the context of an acute shortage of graduate manpower for this vital industry that the School of Mines was established in 1973 as one of the Schools of the University of Zambia. Hence, the School has a most important part to play in the national life of Zambia, in the training and production of much-needed professional geologists, mining engineers, and metallurgists, who are needed by the existing mining industry and, indeed, by the future industries that are now in the pipeline.

Message from the Dean's Office
Welcome to the School of Mines at the University of Zambia based at the Great East Road Campus in the Capital City of Lusaka.
The mining industry still remains the mainstay of Zambia’s economy and will continue to play an important role in the development of the country. It is in the context of an acute shortage of graduate manpower for this vital industry that the School of Mines was established in 1973 as one of the Thirteen (13) Schools of the University of Zambia.
