Are you passionate about sustainable mineral and metal processing engineering? The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Sustainable Mineral and Metal Processing Engineering, also known as the PROMISE program, is now accepting applications for the 2025 academic year. This unique opportunity, offered in collaboration with four leading universities, will equip students with the skills needed to become future leaders in the mining and mineral processing industry.
Understanding the PROMISE Program
The PROMISE program is a consortium between four prestigious universities across the globe:
- University of Oulu (UOULU), Finland
- University of Zagreb (UNIZG), Croatia
- Montanuniversität Leoben (MUL), Austria
- Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (USM), Chile
Together, these universities offer a comprehensive and globally recognized Master of Science (Technology) degree over two years (120 ECTS credits). The program covers various aspects of sustainable mining and mineral processing, including mineral recovery from primary and secondary sources, metal recycling, and environmental protection as part of the circular economy.
Why Study on EMJM PROMISE Scholarship?
- International Exposure: Study across four countries—Finland, Austria, Croatia, and Chile—while gaining insights from diverse mining environments.
