Sustainable Mining and Remediation Management

Study concept

The Master's degree programme "Sustainable Mining and Remediation Management" provides students with knowledge and skills for independent scientific work in the fields of sustainable mining, mine rehabilitation and revitalisation. Their scientific skills should enable them to take on management responsibility.

The degree programme is based on Germany's globally unique expertise in mining remediation, particularly for uranium, lignite and ore mining. It was created as a concept for a unique, research-oriented degree programme. The Master's programme combines natural sciences, engineering and economics as well as environmental law and georesource management.

Students critically examine the methods and procedures of the specialist field. They become aware of the responsibility they have through their work and knowledge. This enables them to make a contribution to overcoming social and global problems, in particular in the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly methods in mining and mining rehabilitation, taking into account business management aspects.
