This paper documents the current situation of Mineral Processing
Education in China with an emphasis on Postgraduate Education.
Overview
Rapid economic growth is driving a rapid increase in student numbers
in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) China, as shown (Figures 1 and 2).
Currently 40% of all Chinese 18 – 21 year olds enroll for University education.
This translates to over 4 million students enrolling in undergraduate
degrees, 600 thousand master’s degree enrollments and approximately
20,000 PhD students.
