The International Master of Science (M.Sc.) in “Advanced Mineral Resources Development” (AMRD) provides all necessary skills for B.Sc. graduates, who are interested in developing sustainable and environmentally friendly methods in mining and mine remediation. This Postgraduate Study program is a Joint Master Degree Program between Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria), TU (Technische Universität) Bergakademie Freiberg (Germany), and GMIT. Students completing this study course earn the degree "Master of Science", which will be awarded by all three universities as "M.Sc." and "Dipl.-Ing.". Graduates are perfectly trained according the demand of the Mongolian mining industry - furthermore, they can pursue a worldwide career at international mining and mine remediation companies.

 

 

 

There is a growing need for well trained mining experts all over the world. The joint Master's Study program is an unique international approach to gain knowledge and competence in developing sustainability and environmentally friendly methods of mining and mine remediation under economical considerations. Students study the first semester at Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria), the second semester at TU (Technische Universität) Bergakademie Freiberg (Germany), and the third and fouth semester at the German-Mongolian Institute for Resources and Technology. GMIT offers four compulsory modules “Underground Mining Methods”, “Open Pit Mining and Quarrying”, “Soil and Rock dynamics” and “Mineral and Solid Waste Processing”. Additionally, students have to choose between following electives: “Heap Leaching and Metal Recovery”, “Mine Waste Management and Deposition Technologies”, “Health, Safety and Environment in Mining” and “Natural Resources and Investigation Methods”. The fourth semester is for the preparation of the Master's thesis too.

The International Master of Science (M.Sc.) in “Advanced Mineral Resources Development” covers 120 credit points (ECTS). In each semester, 30 ECTS points are usually acquired. The language of instruction is English.

Why to get your Engineering degree from GMIT? 

Teaching and research at GMIT are characterized by strong practice-orientation and dedication to foster creative and critical thinking. This practice-orientation, the promotion of professional and personal development of its students, and the international character of our university, makes GMIT a model university in Mongolia. The International Master of Science in “Advanced Mineral Resources Development” is following a two years (four academic semester) postgraduate education program with 120 Credit Points (ECTS), according European standards. The international program accreditation of this Study course is granted by Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria) and TU (Technische Universität) Bergakademie Freiberg (Germany). The M.Sc. Study program provides Mongolian students the fantastic opportunity to study at the best mining universities in Europe. Because the language of instruction is English, students are fully qualified to work in international contexts later on. Living in Austria and in Germany for one year, some knowledge in German language is recommended, but not required. Furthermore, this Master's program has a strong-practice orientation. Besides lectures, students are trained in the lab as well as in the field. Excursions and meetings with mining experts connect students to potential employers and provide insights into future career options.
