  5. Our students encounter modern mining...

  6. ... and miners’ traditions

  7. MSc specilizations in Polish • Surface and Underground Mining • Geoengineering • Geoinformatics • Raw Materials Management and Environmental Protection • Exploration and Mining Geology • Mining Equipment Engineering and Maintenance Management

  8. MSc specialisations in English • Erasmus Mundus Minerals and Environmental Programme: - European Geotechnical and Environmental Course - European Minerals Engineering Course • Mining and Power Engineering

  9. Mining and Power Engineering Joined programme of two faculties : Geoengineering Mining and Geology & Mechanical and Power Engineering (2 years, 120 ECTS) Will provide knowledge in design and operation of mining and power generation complexes Graduates will be able to perform the engineering tasks like: • feasibility studies concerning estimation of mineral energy resources and their applicability for power generation • computer aided design of the complex and its elements; technical design • construction supervision of mines and power plants • commissioning and maintenance of power generation complexes

  10. MINING AND POWER ENGINEERING

  11. Travel the world and obtain a multiple degree in minerals and environmentalengineering! Erasmus Mundus Minerals and Environmental Programme EMMEP is an excellent start for a career in theglobal mineral industry

  12. EMMEP – The concept and origin The global political and economic transformations since 1990 resulted in the strategychange of the raw material supply As a response,a concept of educational networks was developed, within which the students move and choose educational modules A precursor for this structure was the European Mining Course (EMC) - acting since 1996 and the European Mineral Engineering Course (EMEC) - since 1998 Later, five Central-European universities: in Germany - TU Berlin, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, in Slovakia - TU Kosice, in Hungary - University of Miskolc and in Poland – Wroclaw University of Technology, discussed the idea of a joint programme in geotechnical and environmental engineering So far, EGEC has been twice offerd in the German language (2002/3,2003/4) and five times in English (2004/5, 2005/6, 2006/7, 2007/8, 2008/9)
