The next generation of leaders in the mining industry will require a broad range of skills that can be best learned in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary, industry-focused education environment. MtM aims to produce "T-shaped" (Brown, 2015) graduates who can operate from an integrated systems perspective whilst at the same time having a strong discipline understanding and competence, as well as a sensitivity to engage constructively with different stakeholders.
