The course summary contains the full list of academic skills certified by the Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Mining Engineering from the University of Jaén
This master’s programme is aimed primarily at graduates with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mining Engineering, in any area of specialisation (Mining Exploitation, Energy Resources, Fuels and Explosives, Electromechanical Mining Facilities, Mineralogy and Metallurgy, Mining Exploration and Prospecting) and Technical Mining Engineers, in any area of specialisation, which are the qualifications associated with the regulated profession of Technical Mining Engineer. Therefore, the recommended applicant profile is based on the competencies required for the profession of Technical Mining Engineer (Ministerial Order CIN/306/2009 of 9 February).
In addition, undergraduate students who are eligible for the master’s programme and have their final degree project and a maximum of 9 ECTS credits left to complete may enrol on the master’s programme, although they may under no circumstances obtain their master’s degree unless they have first completed their undergraduate degree.
Meanwhile, additional training modules will be provided for graduates in other areas of Engineering who do not meet the qualification requirements under Ministerial Order CIN/306/2009, provided that the credit load of these additional modules does not exceed the equivalent of 20% of the credit load of the master’s programme as a whole.
Applicants may also access the master’s programme through the Academic Programme with Successive Pathways (PARS) in Mining Engineering via the Bachelor’s Degree in Energy Resource Engineering or the Bachelor’s Degree in Mining Technology Engineering. They may enrol on the master’s programme without completing their undergraduate degree, provided that they have only their final degree project and one or more optional modules still pending, which may under no circumstances exceed 30 ECTS credits combined. On an exceptional basis, these 30 ECTS credits may include 9 ECTS credits from compulsory modules, provided that the academic committee for the master’s programme considers that the competencies covered by these modules are not necessary to embark upon the master’s programme and that the applicant’s learning outcomes will not be jeopardised as a result.
Information on eligibility for study at the University of Jaén and pre-enrolment for university studies is available from the following sources: the Andalusian Single University District and the University of Jaén website. The admission requirements for the Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Mining Engineering are set out in Article 17 of Royal Decree 1393/2007, modified by Royal Decree 861/2010.
Graduates from education systems outside the European Higher Education Area with similar qualifications to those listed above will be eligible without validating their degrees once the university has checked that they have completed an equivalent level of training to the corresponding official bachelor’s degrees in Spain and that their degrees enable access to postgraduate study in the issuing country.
There are no specific admission criteria beyond those listed above. In the event that demand for places exceeds supply, admission will be decided by the applicant’s academic record on the undergraduate degree providing access to the master’s programme.
Pre-enrolment and allocation of places will be carried out in a centralised manner by the Andalusian Single District Commission. Up-to-date deadlines and procedures can be found on their website.

Los primeros días de cada inicio de curso la Universidad de Jaén organiza unas Jornadas de Acogida dirigidas a los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso. Estas jornadas generales se complementan con una jornada específicamente orientada al alumnado de cada máster en la que, la coordinación del máster, antes del comienzo de las clases, realiza una sesión de recepción y orientación dirigida a los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso con el fin de mostrar los recursos, herramientas y materiales que tanto la Universidad de Jaén como el máster pone a su disposición. Igualmente se ofrece información detallada de aspectos concretos del título (profesores, tutores, coordinadores, contenidos, horarios, metodologías, ritmos de trabajo, materiales, uso de la plataforma virtual, espacios docentes, etc.).
Se prevé ampliar el sistema de tutorías tradicional incorporando diferentes figuras y actividades que permitan garantizar y canalizar un seguimiento completo del alumnado.
Los tutores serán designados entre el profesorado del curso con más experiencia. Tendrán a su cargo a un grupo de alumnos y se ocuparán de realizar un seguimiento personal y continuo de ellos, observando su aprovechamiento, progreso y resolviendo sus dudas o problemas prácticos. Con ese propósito se convocarán reuniones periódicas y se realizará una tutoría colectiva con su grupo. Al mismo tiempo, se ocuparán de trasladar a otros profesores o especialistas las cuestiones de carácter más técnico que planteen sus alumnos. En definitiva, los tutores son el medio que permite integrar al alumnado en la globalidad del curso.
Se nombrarán, asimismo, coordinadores/as de asignaturas para unificar los contenidos teórico-prácticos en la docencia de asignaturas impartidas por varios profesores. También colaborarán en las funciones de tutoría especializada de la coordinación de módulo.
La dirección del Trabajo Fin de máster es la responsable de resolver los problemas prácticos que se planteen al alumnado al realizar este trabajo. Se elegirá en función de las temáticas de los trabajos y de los intereses del alumnado. Todas las interacciones entre el alumnado y el profesorado que surjan como consecuencia de las funciones anteriores se canalizarán a través de tutorías. Estas tendrán un horario y lugar predefinido en la programación.
En cuanto a la figura de Coordinación de Máster, tendrá la función de apoyar y procurar en todo momento la mejor integración y aprovechamiento académico por parte del alumnado, sin perjuicio de la posibilidad de establecer, conforme a la decisión que en cada caso pueda tomar el Centro, programas individualizados o personalizados de tutorización. Con el fin de promover la orientación profesional a los alumnos, la coordinación se mantendrá informada e informará, a través de los estudios de egresados elaborados por la Universidad, sobre las posibles proyecciones profesionales del alumnado. En este caso, su papel será ante todo la de dinamización y orientación.
