- Description/content
- EMerald is a two-year Master's programme (120 ECTS) organised by four European universities (University of Liège - ULiège, University of Lorraine - UL, Lulea University of Technology - LTU, and Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg - TUBAF) designed to focus on the following major aspects of resources engineering: characterisation, processing, modelling and management.
The Master's programme aims at finding the right balance between knowledge of metal/mineral resources (geology, landfills, urban mines, reserve characterisation and modelling) and process engineering techniques (comminution, sorting, pre-concentration, extractive metallurgy, waste disposal, …). Moreover, in line with the updated list of critical raw materials for the EU, course units are reshaped and extended to encompass factors affecting critical resource flows and supply, such as diversification, substitution and end-uses based on industrial applications.
The full catalogue of courses is available on the EMerald website.
- Current information
- Upon approval of the financial plan by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), all accepted students who are self-funded will be awarded an EIT AVSA scholarship of up to 13,500 EUR.
