Electrotechnical Systems, Machines, and Equipment for Mining Enterprises

Want to become a mining engineer involved in the exploration and extraction of mineral resources? Interested in learning how to develop and apply resource extraction technologies without harming the environment? Learn how to manage mining enterprises?

You will become a specialist in the design and operation of modern mining enterprises. You’ll learn how to ensure the full cycle of mineral extraction, maintain industrial and environmental safety, and achieve high techno-economic efficiency.

The primary goal of this track is to train mining engineers to meet international standards through close collaboration with leading mining enterprises. With the integration of digital technology platforms into the curriculum, you’ll be able to conveniently manage your class schedule and even work while studying.

Duration of the program: 5,5 years. Full-time education in Russian.

Do you know why underground urban infrastructure is becoming a promising field? Experts predict that within five years, some megacities will reach populations of 19 to 30 million, necessitating extensive underground development for livability.

You will learn to design underground structures and mining facilities using IT technologies. You’ll discover how to address scientific and practical challenges in underground urban development. You’ll also undertake internships and field training at mining enterprises in Russia and at unique construction sites — such as metros, underground parking garages, gas and oil storage facilities, road and rail tunnels, and expansive underground shopping and recreational complexes.

After graduating in Underground Construction, you will be qualified for engineering and managerial roles in the mineral resource sector or become an expert in the construction of urban underground facilities, shafts, mines, and other mining-industrial enterprises.

Duration of the program: 5,5 years. Full-time education in Russian.

Do you want to become indispensable to construction, mining, and oil & gas enterprises? A mine surveyor plans and oversees all stages of underground construction and mineral extraction using advanced electronic and laser instruments, digital tools, UAVs (drones), GNSS (satellite) equipment, and specialized software.

In this track, you’ll follow industry expert-designed programs, work in the department’s laboratory facilities, and complete surveying, geological, and mine surveying practicums during the summer. You’ll learn to support the exploration and rational use of Earth’s subsurface, organize activities for mining enterprises, control technological impact on ecology, and carry out a full range of engineeringwork in civil and industrial construction.

Duration of the program: 5,5 years. Full-time education in Russian.

Did you know that human civilization’s history is intrinsically linked to mining? Would you like to use physical and chemical principles to extract valuable components from mineral raw materials? Become a specialist in geometallurgy — a versatile profession in demand not just in mining, but also in metallurgy, chemistry, food production, nuclear energy, biology, and medicine.

During your full-time studies in Mineral Processing, you will participate in research projects with industrial partners like Nornickel and Metalloinvest, gaining valuable hands-on experience to launch your career. After graduation, you’ll be qualified to work in mining and metallurgical corporations, research institutes, universities, government agencies, customs, environmental services, and finance—industrial corporations. Your competitive edge will include skills in managing utilization and processing of industrial and solid waste.

Over more than 100 years, we have trained over 8,000 specialists in mineral processing and beneficiation! Our faculty have published 140 textbooks and monographs used widely in Russia and internationally. In the past five years, our institute published over 400 scientific papers and received several government awards and honors!

Duration of the program: 5,5 years. Full-time education in Russian.

Do you aspire to tackle large-scale challenges in industrial and environmental safety and support the international success of national corporations? Become a versatile specialist across various industrial sectors and unlock your creative potential.

The Industrial and Environmental Safety track emphasizes the technologies of mining operations, preparing you to lead mining enterprises and develop their strategic direction. You will work with cutting-edge scientific equipment in MISIS University labs and partner institutions, including the RAS Research Center for Geodynamics and geoecology of the Mineral Resources. As part of university research teams, you’ll help solve real-world tasks in mining enterprises, regulatory bodies, and scientific organizations.

For over 100 years, we have trained specialists in coal industry and mining safety — graduating 65,000 mining engineers, and over 250 candidates and doctors of science. Our department has published half of all Russian textbooks in aerology and rock safety! Our scientists serve as faculty, with over 100 patents and numerous state awards.

Duration of the program: 5,5 years. Full-time education in Russian.

This track blends information systems and mining engineering — offered exclusively at NUST MISIS! You’ll become a unique expert in digitalizing the mining and geological sector. The program includes extended internships (at least six months) at leading enterprises. You’ll work on projects for geological support in subsurface utilization and IT implementation in the extractive industry, tailored to our industrial partners’ needs. Your competitive advantage will be expertise in mining-geological information systems and automated complexes.

Upon graduation, you’ll be able to oversee extraction and processing, plan mining operations, and design modern mining enterprises that ensure resource completeness and industrial and environmental safety.

Duration of the program: 5,5 years. Full-time education in Russian.
