A reliable Raw Material supply is the backbone of our society, and today the extraction is a growing market worldwide. This is followed by a continuously increasing need of specialists who are able to recognize and solve interdisciplinary problems from the fields of raw material production, environmental engineering and geology. Coping with the area of tension between using and preserving our planet in terms of sustainability is today’s mining engineer’s challenge.

The program M.Sc. Mining Engineering provides the graduate with scientific knowledge and gives systematic preparation for advanced job requirements. By completing the program, the graduate will be able to fill both leadership and technical positions. Furthermore, he/she is well prepared for jobs in the research and development at private companies as well as universities. The English language as medium of instructions opens the doors to positions to various field of Mining all over the globe.

Program structure

The curricula Mining Engineering comprises 120 ECTS, equally distributed over 4 terms. These ECTS are split to 21 modules, 16 of these are compulsory modules, 4 compulsory optional subjects free to choose and the Master's Thesis. The 17 compulsory modules provide the basic methodical and interdisciplinary skills needed by a mining engineer, also they provide the basics for the advanced compulsory optional subjects.

In a seminar and a student research project the students deepen their expertise in one of the special fields of the study programme. Furthermore, the student will broaden his/her skills on scientific working and writing, leading to  a good preparation for writing of the Master's Thesis.

  • Surface Mining
  • Underground Mining
  • Rock Mechanics
  • Mine Surveying
  • Mine Ventilation
  • Mineral Processing

Industrial placement

An eight weeks internship in the field of Mining or Mining Equipment is required. For our international students we recommend to take this internship before starting the studies, as for internships in Germany often German language skills are required for safety reasons in the mines.
