- Description/content
- The Master's programme in Mining Engineering focuses on providing students with the scientific qualifications needed for employment within the mining industry. Due to the broad range of topics covered in the lectures, students acquire the knowledge necessary in order to take up leading positions requiring a sound scientific background.
Students have the opportunity to work in interdisciplinary teams in different parts of the mining industry. Additionally, students are able to conduct research and generate reports to ensure the safe and environmentally friendly exploration and extraction of mineral resources. This is thanks to the profound knowledge of the following topics which they acquire during the Master's programme in Mining Engineering:
• Surface Mining
• Underground Mining
• Shaft Sinking
• Mining Machinery
• Underground Mine Ventilation and Climatisation
• Geoinformation Systems
• IoT and Digitalisation
• Mining and Environment
• Rock Mechanics
• Mineral Resources
• Mineral Processing
• Drilling Engineering
• and a lot of elective modules on different topics...
