The Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of Wrocław University of Science and Technology

The Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of Wrocław University of Science and Technology is a unit with nearly fifty years’ history of providing education to students, as well as conducting scientific and technical research. The Faculty was founded in 1968 and since its very beginning has been responding to the needs of the developing domestic economy and the regional raw material based industry of Lower Silesia.
Currently, the Faculty offers education and conducts research in the field of underground and open pit based mining of deposits, exploratory and mining geology, geoinformatics, and geoengineering.  The Faculty cooperates with universities as well as scientific and research institutions and industrial units in Poland and other parts of the world. The quality of teaching at the Faculty is guaranteed by the accreditation granted by the State Accreditation Committee, an IPMA certificate, and the Faculty Committee for the Evaluation and Ensuring Teaching Standards.
Students also have an opportunity to deepen their knowledge by participating in Scientific Circles, taking Technology Trips, doing internships, and attending scientific conferences.

The Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining, and Geology is tuning its educational offering to social and economic changes. Our graduates do exceptionally well in the labour market, pursuing employment in mining companies, public state-level and self-government administration, project units, or enterprises operating in the business of collecting and processing spatial information.

The Faculty delivers two degree programmes - mining and geology and geodesy and cartography, in two cycles of education, as well as third cycle programmes. Graduates of the University’s degree programmes have an opportunity to complete paid post-graduate programmes in the fields of open-pit mining, environmental protection and health and safety in the workplace, management and marketing, geoinformatics, and mineral and waste processing.
