Master’s Degree (Second Cycle) Programme in Mining Engineering
General Information
The Mining Engineering Department of the Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University launched its education
activities in 2005, by recruiting its first graduate students, and then undergraduate students were
recruited in the 2008-2009 educational term. Our department consists of 2 Professors, 4 Associate
Professors, and 2 Assistant Professor. The department carries out prestigious academic and scientific
studies in the field and offers a competent education with its dynamic and young academic staff
conducting various scientific projects supported by The Scientific and Technological Research Council
of Türkiye (TUBITAK), Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Thanks to the bilateral agreements with EU countries and other countries, some of our graduate
students continue their education abroad within the framework of the Erasmus Program.
The department consists of 3 Divisions: Mine management, Ore dressing, and Mine Mechanization
and Technology. Some undergraduate students are welcome to participate and some graduate
students can work as scholarship students in the projects conducted by our faculty members.
With its classrooms equipped with computers and new laboratory equipment, and projectsupported, private-purpose research and development laboratories, the Mining Engineering
Department raises competent Mining engineers who contribute to today’s technology.
Through the Master of Science (Second Cycle) programme, students develop skills to participate in
scientific activities and share the results with the scientific community and they may continue their
academic career by enrolling in related Ph.D. programs at universities in Turkey or abroad.
