The master's is designed to provide advanced training in the calculation, simulation, design, management, analysis, and technical leadership of technological processes related to the production, transformation, storage, transport, and use of mineral raw materials and energy resources, all within a framework of sustainability.
The programme responds to current global challenges such as the energy transition, decarbonisation, and the growing demand for critical raw materials needed for renewable energy technologies and industrial digitalisation. Students develop expertise in the exploration, extraction, processing, and sustainable management of mineral and energy resources while learning to balance industrial development with environmental protection.
Main Objective
The Master's Degree in Mining Engineering aims to educate highly qualified engineers capable of designing, managing, and optimising mining and energy systems through advanced engineering methods, while ensuring the sustainable and environmentally responsible exploitation of mineral and energy resources in support of industrial development and the energy transition.
