The transition to green technologies and a low-carbon future is highly raw materials intensive. To address the mining related sustainability challenges, encountered especially in the Arctic areas, education of professionals must meet the new needs of the future.
This unique 2-year master programme, Arctic Mineral Resources, provides an in-depth knowledge of designing mineral production processes and infrastructure in the Arctic environment, of economic and environmental aspects of mining in the Arctic as well as sustainable mine project development. Arctic Mineral Resources addresses the strategic importance - but also challenges - of the sensitive Arctic environment, and is jointly given by Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in Sweden, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and University of Oulu (UO) in Finland.
Specialization
The teaching is in English and the programme (120 ECTS) offers two study tracks:
Mineral Resource Management (double degree between DTU and LTU) - This track primarily addresses the skills needed within government, consultancies and various authorities, as well as the skills to communicate and interact with such stakeholders and the civil society.
Mineral Entrepreneurship (double degree between UO and LTU) - This track primarily addresses the skills needed within (junior) mining companies, consultancies or organizations active in the funding of mining projects.
Career
This education provides you with the skills needed to e.g. work with junior mining companies and consultancies (Mineral Entrepreneurship track covering legislative, social, financial and other aspects of mining projects) or to work for government and authorities with the evaluation of mining projects, permitting procedures and stakeholder involvement (Mineral Resource Management track).
