10 Mining Engineering Master's Degree Programs in Europe

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 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.

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 study program “Mining of Mineral Resources” follows up to the Bachelor’s degree study in the same program. It expands knowledge in specialized mining subjects studied in Bachelor's degree study and in subjects focused on issues of operational safety. The inclusion of practical subjects will strengthen the flexibility of the field concerning the practical requirements.

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.

Responsible mining is possible by developing it under safe conditions and respecting environmental standards and international parameters. The importance of the mining sector lies in the fact that its products are part of the daily life of human beings around the world, either because they depend economically on this activity, they live ancestrally from it, they work in mines, they transport the products, they market them, They benefit from export earnings and even use them daily.

The Applied geology in the master’s study is a technically oriented geological field of study that to a necessary extent ensures all the geological research and survey activities. The study is focused mainly on the education of experts in the areas of hydrogeology, engineering geology, technical mineralogy and petrography, environmental geochemistry, deposit geology and applied geophysics.

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.

The master's program is addressed to graduates licensed in the field of Civil Engineering, but also to those licensed in other technical fields. The main mission of the master's program is to provide students with the cognitive and behavioral skills needed to become good specialists in the field of underground construction with different destinations (mining, hydrotechnics, tunnels, subways, underpasses), made in different geotechnical conditions.

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.
