Master Programme in Exploration and Environmental Geosciences
Description
The university’s location close to the largest mining operations in Sweden, with the possibility for site-visits and guest lectures, provide you as a student the chance for an engaging educational experience. The program has several project-based courses, to promote learning and cooperation between the classmates, to ensure you are ready to fast track your future career when graduating. Before the final thesis project, you will get to do a senior design project where you can use the time to do pretty much any type of project you would like. This is a great opportunity to get a head start on your final thesis, collaborate with companies, and sharpen your competence with something of your own choosing.
The program staff has networks and collaboration all around the world which may offer possibilities for collaborative projects with other universities with similar subjects, as well as international MSc thesis work. The program has established student exchange programs with at least five other European universities with geoscience programs. This program provides you with an excellent opportunity to gain access to methods, tools, knowledge and skills for an international career and the abilities to be part of developing the future conditions for mining operations and for society at large.
