Key Summary

About : The Degree in Engineering of Mining and Energy Resources focuses on the sustainable extraction and management of natural resources. It provides students with a thorough understanding of mining processes, energy management, and environmental impact assessments. The program blends theoretical knowledge with practical experience, preparing students for challenges in the field.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers in various sectors, including mining engineering, energy management, and environmental consulting. Opportunities exist in both the public and private sectors, with roles involving resource management, project supervision, and sustainability assessments.

The objective of the degree in Engineering of Mining and Energy Resources is to provide the training and skills necessary for the exercise of the regulated profession of technical engineering in mines. There are three technologies offered: "Energy Resources, Fuels and Explosives", "Mine Exploitation" and "Mineralurgy and Metallurgy".

The degree delves into training related to the investigation and exploitation of mining resources (rocks and minerals, underground spaces, water...). In addition, it provides suitable training in the field corresponding to the transformation and use of these resources in industry: production and use of metallic materials, steels, polymers and compounds.

All these activities must be carried out by the future professional in a safe, profitable and compatible way with the environment, which justifies that the study plan contemplates cross-cutting subjects of economics and business, safety and risk prevention and the environment.
