Raw Materials Value Chain (RaVeN) at AGH University of Krakow is a four-semester, English-taught double degree Master's programme run with Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg (TUBAF), the Technical University of Košice and non-academic partners. It is for graduates of geology, mining engineering, mineral processing, environmental or mechanical engineering, metallurgy or similar fields who want to follow raw materials from sourcing to recycling.
The programme is built around a sustainable, circular approach to raw materials:
The programme includes winter industrial internships, and in the final semester the partner that supervises your thesis also hosts you for an internship. Teaching is run in close cooperation with SMEs and large corporations through guest lectures, study visits and non-academic training. A summer school adds further lectures and study visits.
You spend the third semester at TUBAF in Freiberg, while semesters one, two and four take place at AGH in Krakow.
