Geoengineering and raw materials extraction

Students of Geoengineering and raw materials extraction will acquire skills in automating production and reducing the environmental impact of resource extraction. The program covers computer science, CAD, legal basics (including EU law), environmental protection, economics, management, and occupational safety. They will also gain knowledge in geology, mineral extraction and engineering, post-industrial land reclamation, as well as machine operation and industrial robotics, all aligned with Industry 4.0 and circular economy principles.

Students will also learn to apply CAD for engineering design and modeling, understand key geoengineering principles, and gain knowledge of mineral extraction and geology. They will develop skills in post-industrial land reclamation, industrial machinery and robotics, work organization, safety, and managing multidisciplinary teams, while preparing for independent economic activity aligned with career path.

These studies are ideal for individuals interested in engineering, geology, and the extraction of mineral resources, who want to work with advanced industrial machinery, robotics, and environmental reclamation. They suit those aiming for careers in mining, resource management, or leading multidisciplinary technical teams.

See details on the university website.

The candidates should have first-cycle studies diploma.

As a graduate of the faculty, you can work in companies, among others:

• those involved in the extraction and processing of raw materials, mineral waste management,
• using mining and drilling technologies,
• carrying out geological and engineering works,
• those involved in brownfield redevelopment,
• in the electrical machinery or automotive industries.

Contemporary mining is continuously evolving, encompassing a wide range of activities and demands. Beyond traditional methods - such as open-pit, underground, and offshore (oil rig) operations - there is growing advancement in projects focused on extracting concretions, like mineral clusters, from the seabed and ocean floor.
