This program will provide the students with cutting-edge knowledge in exploration and mining geology used by earth scientists active in the exploration and mining of metals and minerals.
The program covers aspects necessary for an environmentally aware geoscientist. The teaching is in English and the program offers two specializations for the students; exploration and environmental geosciences. The Luleå University of Technology is the northernmost technical university in Scandinavia. It is located 100 km south of the Arctic Circle at the Gulf of Bothnia which is a part of the Baltic Sea. The location gives you an unprecedented opportunity to experience the Nordic milieu with its contrasts between the gleaming winter, and the warm, sunny summer – the land of the eight seasons.
Exploration geosciences
This specialization includes ore geology, geophysical and petrophysical exploration methods, mineral economy, and deposit evaluation. Are you interested in the global competition for securing the world’s demand for metals and non-metallic resources? Would you like to work outdoor in remote areas? Then this is the choice you should make.
Environmental geosciences
This specialization includes environmental geochemistry, environmental monitoring, and geochemical modeling among other courses. If you want to understand how geology and the environment are linked together, how nature responds to natural and anthropogenic chemical compounds, and how we monitor and remediate metal pollution, then this is the choice you should make!
The MSc program in Exploration and environmental geoscience provides an understanding and possibility to work with the global sustainability goals of Industry, innovation, infrastructure, and climate action.
You will learn why geoscience is a necessary foundation for working with society’s demand for minerals and metals which are needed for the transition into renewable energy sources, at the same time as you learn how to minimize the environmental- and climate footprint this need for natural resources comes with.
The Luleå University of Technology is experiencing strong growth with world-leading competence in several areas of research. Our research is conducted in close collaboration with industries such as Bosch, Ericsson, Scania, LKAB, SKF, and leading international universities. The Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of SEK 1.7 billion per year. We currently have 1,650 employees and 15,500 students.
The Luleå University of Technology is the northernmost technical university in Scandinavia, located at the east coast of northern Sweden only 100 km south of the Arctic Circle with dramatic differences between summer and winter. From spectacular northern light, plenty of snow and a frozen sea to warm summer days at some of the beaches and 24 hours daylight enable generous possibilities for outdoor activities the year around.
The location is within a short distance from some of the most active areas of mining and exploration in Europe. The university has a strong position in education and research regarding exploration, mining, metallurgy, and the environment. This is reflected by the long tradition of interaction with the exploration and mining industry and industry funding of research.

The Luleå University of Technology develops an attractive sustainable society through research and education. Many of our research subjects related to different aspects of sustainability, like natural resources management, sustainable urban development, waste management, and recycling. Sustainability is also a key issue in our work to develop Sweden's best learning environment.
When you become a student at the Luleå University of Technology, you will get a world-class education.
We have snow!
Whether you are looking for freshly groomed ski slopes, magnificent peak expeditions along mountainsides, or heliiskiing, Luleå University of Technology offers Sweden's best skiing. From October to Midsummer there is something for everyone, under the midnight sun or in the mid winter's darkness.
World-class Research
The Luleå University of Technology is at the forefront of several research areas that are of major importance to society. Some of our researchers are former students at the university and today they are recognized internationally. For example, an instrument will soon land on Mars to look for water and, maybe, find life on the planet.
The Industry's University
The companies like us, both in research collaborations and when it comes to taking help from our students in courses and thesis projects.
As a student at the Luleå University of Technology, you benefit from our close cooperation with companies and society.
Regardless of which program you choose, you will have the opportunity during the education to connect with employers. Many of our courses are given in project form wherein a sharp project you work on solving a task for a company or an organization. It can also be your entrance to a future job, an opportunity that many of our former students have taken advantage of. Some innovations developed in our project courses have become so successful that they resulted in patents.
The study environment at Luleå University of Technology
At the Luleå University of Technology, there are bright and fresh facilities with many social spaces for students and cafes and restaurants in almost every building.
