Master in Mining
Introduction
The Master in Mining Engineering program aims to contribute to the formation of qualified Engineers, Geologists, and Geophysicists that want to conduct scientific and technological research in Mining Engineering. The Master in Mining Engineering has also a professional orientation for those candidates interested on advising agencies, companies and private institutions, both in the domestic and the international market. The program considers a research project (thesis) and a group of basic and advanced courses in subjects related to this discipline. Mining engineering courses are multidisciplinary, touching upon elements of geology, physics, chemistry, environmental studies, mathematics, and economics. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the main research areas:
- Geomechanics
- Mine Sustainability
- Mine technology
- Mineral Economics
- Geo-statistics
- Mine planning
A Masters in Mining Engineering will give you a better understanding of how the different extraction methods works, providing you the tools for understanding how mining systems interact with other disciplines, the community, the market, and the environment. We are searching for high quality students interested in completing a research project within a research intensive university.So, if you are interested:
We strongly suggest you to contact one of the Faculty members of our Department before applying. Ask for research opportunities and funding. Include in your mail your CV and a brief motivation letter.
