Mining and Geology: Mining Engineering – (M.Sc.)

Graduates in Mining Engineering are prepared to work in underground and opencast coal mines, mines of metal ores, salt and other minerals, and in other mining plants dealing with the mining of mineral raw materials and in the companies of underground construction. Students of Mining Engineering deal with modern subjects within the scope of mining technology, mechanization, geomechanics, blasting techniques, natural threats (rock bursting, roof falls, underground fire prevention, methane control etc.) and geological background.

Thanks to the access to the latest software and fast computers students can simulate mining conditions by the means of numerical modelling. Graduates gain full qualifications entitling them to hold top management positions in a mine. They can also find employment in research and scientific centres serving the mining industry.

Students are also provided with a wide range of theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of mining economics, as well as the organization and management in the mining industry. They can use modern computer techniques and technologies. During the course of studies AGH-UST ensures practical training for students in some very modern Polish mines.
