Bachelor in Ingeniería Minera

Mining engineering covers the exploration, extraction, and processing of mineral resources from the earth, as well as the management of the environmental and safety risks associated with mining operations. Students study geology, rock mechanics, mine design and planning, mineral processing, explosives engineering, geotechnical engineering, and environmental rehabilitation. Graduates work for mining companies, geological survey organisations, environmental consultancies, and public regulatory bodies, in roles ranging from mine planning engineer to environmental manager. The four-year degree in Ingeniería Minera combines strong grounding in earth sciences and physics with applied engineering subjects focused on the practical challenges of extracting resources safely and efficiently while minimising environmental impact. Spain has an active mining sector, particularly in Andalusia where copper, phosphate, and other minerals are extracted, making the programme relevant to real regional industry needs. Annual tuition is 757.20 EUR per year. The programme is located at the University of Huelva in Huelva, Spain.
