165 Mining and Resources Engineering Degree Programs

This Professional Certificate equips you with foundational expertise in dry material handling systems essential for mining operations. You'll master plant design principles, conveyor systems, chute design, dust control strategies, and energy-efficient practices that reduce operational costs and environmental impact in the mining sector.

This program covers the full lifecycle of mineral extraction operations—from initial deposit exploration and economic evaluation to extraction and post-mining land reclamation. Designed for mining executives, it emphasizes sustainable resource development balancing profitability with environmental stewardship.

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 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.

The purpose of the BEngTech (Mining Engineering) is to build the necessary knowledge, understanding, abilities, and skills required for further learning towards becoming a competent practicing Mining Engineering Technologist.

The Bachelor’s Degree in Mining Technology Engineering at UJA will qualify you as a Technical Mining Engineer with specialisations in Mine Exploitation, Mine Surveying and Prospecting or Energy Resources.

The purpose of the Bachelor of Engineering Technology Honours in Mining Engineering is to develop students for both industry and research, such that they are able to deepen their expertise in Mining Engineering and develop their research capacity in the methodology and techniques of the discipline.

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.

The programme aims to provide doctoral students with innovative and cutting-edge knowledge in the field of environmental engineering, mining and energy. The programme includes compulsory and optional subjects that cover a wide variety of discipline-related topics. Special attention is given to sustainable development of urban areas, with waste management, treatment

This advanced diploma is delivered with a strong practical focus and covers a variety of skills required in the mining operations industry. Upon completion of this programme, you will gain skills and knowledge in the latest and developing technologies in electrical and instrumentation in mining operations. This programme aims to impart the necessary electrical and instrumentation engineering skills required in the mining operations industry, and all the theory covered is tied to a practical outcome.

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.

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 degree offers further specialisation in engineering geology and hydrogeology. Engineering geology is the study of the behaviour of ground (soil and rock) and how likely it is to affect engineering works. It comprises geotechnical studies and relates to construction (eg founding or excavation) on and with geological materials (eg construction materials), and to the influences of geological, geomorphological and hydrological processes on construction and development. Hydrogeology refers to the occurrence, distribution and movement of water below the Earth’s surface. The study of groundwater is generally both quantitative (eg water supply, safe abstraction and the influences of pumping) and qualitative (eg contamination, remediation and drinking water).

The European Mining Course (EMC) is a two-year, full-time international Master's programme in mining and mineral engineering run jointly by Aalto University, RWTH Aachen and Montanuniversität Leoben. It trains multidisciplinary experts for the mining and mineral industry, covering mining technology, mineral processing, recycling, management, business and safety, with industry excursions and team-based case work.

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.
