Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management (MGMRM)

Geomatics is an interdisciplinary field of research that combines aspects of surveying and sensor technology with data processing, geoinformatics and geomodelling. The main focus of Geomatics for Mineral Resource Management lies on the regulation and control of the interplay between resource extraction and its environmental impact.

Academic requirements

Students holding a BSc degree from outside of the core field of mining and mine surveying (e.g. Safety Engineering, Applied Geology, Industrial Engineering, etc.) will have to take an additional set of courses before they can be admitted to the programme. The additional courses will be decided upon by the international committee during the admissions process. These additional courses include the following modules: engineering mathematics, introduction to programming and information technology, physics for engineers, data analysis and statistics, introduction to geodetic surveying, introduction to geosciences (geology, mineralogy) and introduction to mining engineering and geoengineering.

Minimum GPA

No fixed minimum GPA is published on the current official programme page.

English requirements

Proof of English proficiency by means of a recognised language test, e.g. TOEFL iBT total test score of at least 90 points (minimum scores in each sub-area: 22 listening, 20 reading, 20 speaking, 24 writing) or 550 points for paper-based TOEFL test; or TWE with minimum score 4; or IELTS overall band score of at least 6.5 (each with minimum Reading and Listening 6.5, Writing and Speaking 6.5).
