About the course
Course content
Practical HES is mandatory for all students, the other part of the course is defined in cooperation with the supervisor:
- Practical HES (professor Rolf Arne Kleiv)
- Mining engineering (professor Hakan Basarir),
- Resource and reserve modelling (professor Steinar Ellefmo),
- Deep sea mining (professor Steinar Ellefmo),
- Mineral resource management (professor Steinar Ellefmo),
- Coal mining methods (professor Charlie C. Li),
- Applied rock mechanics (professor Charlie C. Li),
- Minerals engineering (professor Rolf Arne Kleiv),
- Chemical analysis (associate professor Maria Thornhill),
- Mineral resources geology (professor Rune B. Larsen),
- Mineral magnetism applied to mineral exploration (researcher Nathan Church),
- Process mineralogy (associate professor Kurt Aasly),
- Geochemistry (associate professor Bjørn Eske Sørensen).
- Processing of primary and secondary resources (professor Pshem Kowalczuk)
Learning outcome
Ingress: This course will provide in-depth knowledge in the field.
Knowledge: The student will acquire specialized knowledge in support of project completion in the field.
Skills: The student will be able to find scientific literature and draw out the main elements that are relevant to the project.
General competence: Increased understanding of the field.
Learning methods and activities
Topics are normally given as supervised self study, but can also include exercises, seminars or free-standing lectures. In some modules (fieldwork), a report, presentation or similar may be part of the assessment, in addition to the oral exam. Information about this (including weighting) will be given at course start, together with information about the HES part of the course.
Compulsory assignments
- HES work
Further on evaluation
If the course is based on two modules (which have to have the same form of assessment), the grade in the course will be based on an exam covering both modules. However, in order to pass the course, both modules must receive a passing score.
Specific conditions
Admission to a programme of study is required:
Georesources and Geotechnology (MTGEORT)
Geoscience and Georesources (MSGEOS)
Geotechnology (MTTEKGEO)
Recommended previous knowledge
Knowledge within construction engineering, mining methods, mineral processing or similar.
Required previous knowledge
Admission to relevant specialization in the stated required programme of study. It is provided that the student has completed all courses which are listed as compulsory for the specialization in the study plan, or gets approval from the person with course responsibility. One or more of the following, or equivalent courses: TGB4246 Mining Engineering, Advanced Course; TGB4300 Minerals Processing, Advanced Course; TGB4115 Mineral Deposit Geology.
