The aim of the "Advanced Mineral Resources Development" degree programme is to acquire knowledge and skills for the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly methods in mining and mining rehabilitation from a business management perspective.

The programme is based on international studies at three of the Master's degree programme's nine partner universities.

Advanced Mineral Resources Development provides students with the knowledge and skills to carry out independent scientific work in the field of environmentally friendly mining and mining rehabilitation from a business management perspective. The degree programme combines natural sciences, engineering and economics. Studying at the three partner universities promotes the acquisition of intercultural competence, a key qualification for management staff in globally active raw materials companies.

The Master's thesis demonstrates that students are able to gather relevant information on their specialist area, develop it creatively and thereby gain new insights. Their scientific competences enable them to assume leadership responsibility. Students are motivated to critically analyse methods and procedures in their specialist field. They should be aware of the responsibility they have through their knowledge and their work to contribute to overcoming social and global problems in terms of sustainability and environmental compatibility.

All students on the degree programme complete the first semester at the Montanuniversität Leoben, the second semester at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg and the third and fourth semesters at one of the partner universities.

Please note that the degree programme is offered by the Montanuniversität Leoben. The application process is therefore different from that for TUBAF degree programmes. By clicking the "Apply now"-Button you will receive more information.
