Bachelor Programme in Mineral Resource Engineering
Description
The education is given in English and is open to students from all over the world. The training focuses on all the steps required to find, mine, extract, and recycle metal and minerals and how environmental, social and economic aspects are handled, such as water, by-products, and waste. The education is focused on project-oriented learning in collaboration with the business community.
During the first two years, you will take a project course that deals with the entire value chain for minerals and metals. The course is given in collaboration with companies and has both practical and theoretical parts, such as experiments and field exercises. The project course runs in parallel with basic courses in, for example, mathematics, physics, chemistry, mineralogy, and an introduction to earth sciences. In the third year, you will study work science, raw material economics, and mathematical statistics, and deepen your knowledge through elective courses.
After the bachelor's degree, you can continue in one of our master's programs to specialize in one area. It is also possible to take a Degree of Master of Science in Engineering later.
To meet the challenges of tomorrow, while minimizing environmental impact, engineers with unique expertise are required. A systematic knowledge over the entire value chain is necessary, as well as an understanding of the Earth system, and specific knowledge of methods and processes to create a sustainable value chain. Through the unique structure of the educational program, in close collaboration with leading companies in the field, you as a student will already during your first year take part in real industrial challenges and issues and also see future professional roles and network with employers. The education is given in English and is open to students from all over the world.
