39 Mining and Resources Engineering Master's Degree Programs

With this Master's degree, the aim is to acquire advanced, specialized and multidisciplinary training, aimed at knowing the current state of research in the field of mining teaching.

The degree is conferred on the basis of a dissertation and examination in the field of study of the dissertation and/or divisions of the field of study as required by the relevant head of department. Research focus areas in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering:

The Master's degree in Mining Engineering provides specialised training in sustainable approaches to locating, extracting and exploiting minerals and energy resources. Students also learn about designing, modelling, planning and supervising mining operations; exploring, researching, modelling and assessing geological deposits; the advanced use of explosives; underground spatial management; surveying; advanced mineral processing; etc. 

The Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Mining Engineering is one of a kind in Andalusia and qualifies you to access the regulated profession of Senior Mining Engineer.

Designed to meet the growing need for mining engineers, this program offers advanced study with emphasis in either management-oriented or technically-oriented disciplines for professionals in mining, mine management or underground construction. Participate in classes over the web as they happen, or watch later when it is convenient for you.

Training of professionally competent and qualified staff to understand, conceive, design and implement optimized technical solutions in the areas of Exploration, Exploitation, and Treatment of Mineral Raw Materials, as well as in the area of the Geoenvironment, with a view to environmental preservation, recovery, and sustainability, understood as fundamental pillars of social cohesion and well-being.

The Master of Sustainable Mining is aimed to develop an intellectual with advanced abilities in applying fundamental engineering technologies or related inter-disciplinary principles to develop methods, strategies, and designs within all mining-related sectors in Africa and to develop an advanced capability to conduct fundamental research on an inter-disciplinary nature independently.

The MSc Program In Geomaterials and Geological Resources is jointly organized by the universities of Aveiro and Porto, taking advantage of the conjugation of the areas in which those universities gained greater expertise in what regards mineral and energy resources.

Master in Materials Engineering provides advanced education in materials engineering, with two fields of specialization: a more generalized education in materials and another in metallurgy. The study cycle offers a background in materials science and technology, focusing on product design, processing technologies, and characterization techniques, addressing all classes of materials in the specialization on materials and, more specifically, metallic materials in the case of the specialization in metallurgy. This is complemented with education in management and interdisciplinary competencies.

The principal objective of the 2nd Cycle in Geological Engineering is the training of professionals prepared to find solutions to concrete problems in the domain of their area of knowledge, studying them in an integrated way and resorting to specific approaches, as far as social, economic and environmental implications are concerned.

The purpose of the Master of Engineering in Physical Metallurgy is to develop a graduate with advanced abilities in appropriate analytical and research skills relevant to engineering design and synthesis, in order to solve engineering problems of society at large. One of the main objectives of this program is to develop an advanced capability to conduct research independently and as such promote a lifelong learning approach.

The Master's in Materials Science aims to form a materials scientist, same time a chemist and a physicist. Students will therefore learn the language of both chemistry and physics, as a materials scientist should act as a bridge between these two apparently different, but very close disciplines.

The Department of Metallurgy maintains strong links with the metal industry within South Africa, providing undergraduates with exposure to a wide range of metal-related operations. The exposure equips graduates with sound knowledge of metal production, design, and manufacture.

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mining Engineering is designed for students who want to deepen their understanding of mining processes, technology, and management. The program emphasizes applied s...

We offer high-level, rigorous and innovative training that allows graduates to assume positions of responsibility in the management and direction of the company, preferably in mining and energy industries and farms.
