The three study cycles offered are: A.
Exploration and Positioning in the Management of the Geo-environment.
B. Exploitation of Mineral Resources and
Geotechnical Construction. C. Exploitation
of Industrial Minerals, Materials and Energy Resources. Each
field involves a number of compulsory, elective and integration
courses. Students can select a limited number of courses from
a different field of study than the one in which they enroll.
The progress of the MSc and PhD degree candidates is evaluated
based on their performance in the graduate courses and their
research for the MSc thesis or the PhD dissertation respectively.
