EMerald Master's in Georesources Engineering
EMerald is a 2-year Erasmus Mundus and EIT-labelled Master’s programme organized by four European Universities. It has been designed to find the right balance between knowledge of metal/mineral resources (geology, landfills, urban mines, reserve characterisation and modelling) and process engineering techniques (comminution, sorting, preconcentration, extractive metallurgy and waste disposal).
The energy and environmental transition is a major challenge for securing the well-being of future generations.
The EMerald master in georesources engineering aims to train a new generation of engineers with an entrepreneurial mind-set, capable of identifying and sustainably managing the mineral and metal resources that are essential for the green energy transition.
With a unique position at the interface between Earth Sciences and Engineering, the two-year master (120 ECTS) is designed for students with a background in both geology and applied sciences (mining, metallurgy, chemistry). The master, fully taught in English, offers an innovative curriculum from hands-on experiences in the university labs to the use of digital tools and a specialisation in primary or in secondary resources. It is jointly organized by 4 top-level European Universities, each of which hosts the students for at least a semester and delivers a Degree.
