The EMC triple degree programme is designed to take place in person and on-site. However, in light of COVID-19, the programme may need to adjust to adhere to the regulations of each university and host country.
Information on how to apply and other application requirements can be found on this page.
Letters of recommendation are usually written by professors of the university students are currently attending. Applicants who are already working in the industry could ask their supervisors.
All students who are admitted to EMMEP programs have to pay a participation fee, including students from partner universities. However, all EMMEP program students can apply for scholarships.
The language of instruction of the entire program, courses and examination, is English.
Exams are organized according to the examination regulations of the responsible partner university. The partners universities adopted the ECTS scheme. A student receives the allocated number of credit points for each course, provided he/she has obtained a minimum grade of E in the respective examination or has been granted an exemption.
The Master Thesis Project, worth 30 ECTS credit points, shall be supervised in accordance with the examination rules of each of the three universities participating in the particular track. The Master Thesis Project will be co-supervised by one staff member of each of the partner universities in the specific track. The student will spend his/her final semester at one of the three partner universities or outside organizations such as industry, government agencies or other university laboratories.
After having completed the EMMEP curriculum, the student receives a Triple Master of Science Degree, one degree from each of the Partner Universities in the specific track. All degrees will be valid separately from one another. For the purpose of international mobility, the Triple Master Degree will be accompanied by a Diploma Supplement according to art. IX.3 of the Lisbon Recognition Convention of 11 April 1997. The Diploma Supplement stipulates the prerequisites and requirements for a jointly awarded Triple Master Degree for the completed track.
All of the EMC course descriptions can be found in the TU Delft digital Study Guide.
All staff responsible for the courses are closely involved in research activities. During the program, the student increases their self-learning abilities and research skills, culminating in a thesis that demonstrates these skills. Furthermore, the student plays an important role in assisting PhD students by working on parts of their projects. When a student has successfully completed an EMMEP program, he/she can potentially continue as a PhD researcher with one of the partner universities.
The students of the program study together at each university and move between universities as a group. The students start their 120 credit points program in the fall. After their first semester, they move to the second university where they spend the spring semester and finally they move on to the last university for their third semester. The student will spend his/her final semester at one of the three Partner Universities or outside organizations such as industry, government agencies or other university laboratories.
All partner universities advise and assist students in moving between countries and living in the different cities. Each partner university will do its utmost to provide housing for every student in the program. Students stay in university accommodation in single or double rooms. They will register for the accommodation themselves. Assistance is provided.
The student is responsible for obtaining the necessary Visa to study in Finland, Germany and the Netherlands. The universities can provide information on applying for a visa or residence permit if required.
Students need to organize health insurance which is valid in Finland, Germany and The Netherlands and also covers visits to mines and industrial sites as well as traveling from one country to another.
After completing your degree, you will be qualified to work for a wide range of companies. Some examples: mining companies, employers engaged in the minerals and metals processing technology, companies with ore deposits and integrated production, market leaders for efficient dredging and mining, aggregates companies, government agencies, engineering and consulting firms, banks, global oil services, knowledge institutions, research institutes and think tanks.
EMMEP is a consortium of Europe's leading universities in resource engineering. The organization and co-ordination of the EMMEP EMC program is carried out by TU Delft. EMC builds on the strengths and the complementary expertise in earth sciences at these three universities. It offers you a combination of study and research, leading to an outstanding qualification in mining engineering.
