MSc in Earth Sciences Engineering

Started in 2022 September, the programme offers a mobility window and special field work training activities. The MSc in Earth Science Engineering is a part of the TIMREX education initiative, supported by EIT RawMaterials. Students can spend their third semester at either Lulea Technical University in Sweden or Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland. They can participate in a specific field exploration camp between the semesters, as well as have internship opportunities through the RIS Internship programme.

Details about the structure and mobilities can be found on the TIMREX project page. Graduates will receive during graduation the Earth Science Engineering MSc diploma from the University of Miskolc, with training elements focused on innovative mineral resource exploration in collaboration with academic and non-academic partners of the TIRMEX project.

Applicants are screened based on the documents uploaded to the Dreamapply system. Those who do not meet the eligibility criteria (relevant bachelor’s degree, language certificate of B2 or higher, or proof of studies conducted in English) are filtered out.

Applicants are assessed based on their uploaded documents and can earn up to 30 points. Points are awarded for professional background (qualification and work experience) based on transcript of records (15 points), motivation letter (10 points), and ranking of the higher education institution where the previous degree was obtained (5 points).

The online entrance exam lasts 20-30 minutes and includes pre-set questions to assess the applicant’s management knowledge, professional skills, thesis or project work, and language proficiency. Applicants can score up to 70 points: for professional background 50 points, spoken language skills 20 points.
