2 MATERIALS GEOSCIENCES ENERGY ENVIRONMENT These four core themes emerged from traditional areas of competence in the geosciences, mining and metallurgy and determine our teaching and research. Within the World s oldest Mining Academy, founded in 1765, our faculty today is one of the most diversified and strongest geoscience faculties in Germany. Our students benefit from: the finest geo-related library nation-wide a productive combination of geosciences and geo-engineering a university owned industry-scale mine (Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn) for training and research educational and research collections regular top ranking in student satisfaction assessment substantial acquisition of third-party funds for doctoral students, post-docs and additional technicians state-of-the-art technical and laboratory infrastructure OUR FACULTY S PROFILE Our Faculty of Geosciences, Geoengineering and Mining unites a unique and wide range of competences, resulting in linked teaching and research activities. Our logo GRIPS stands for: Geo: Resources, Information, and Processes OF System Earth. The combination of the geo-disciplines with physics, chemistry, mathematics, (micro)biology, mechanical engineering, process engineering, material science and economics is distinctive. Our profile, particularly in Applied Geosciences, results in a wide international recognition. The German Science Foundation (DFG) entrusts Freiberg with its reference libraries for geology, mineralogy, petrography, and soil science and for mining, smelting, and geodesy, making it Europe s most powerful Geo-reference library. With the Saxon Mining Authority (Oberbergamt), the State Agency for Environment, Agriculture and Geology (LfULG), the Geo-Competence Centre (GKZ), and about 50 geo-consultants and enterprises, Freiberg houses an exclusive array of science, administration and enterprises. 2 3

3 study options Our track record Our Faculty currently has about 1,400 full time students with 393 new inscriptions (2012) and a fine teacher-to-student ratio. We are known for a competitive and successful study environment that allows ambitious students to finalize their studies within the standard study periods. On the long-term average, a 100 students leave the Faculty each year with degrees (2012: 192). On top of that, about 20 PhD and Post- Docs successfully defend their work each year and pursue careers. A RANGe of opportunities Freiberg offers the full range of options from Bachelor via Master and the traditional Diplom to Doctoral studies (PhD) and post-doc experience. Bachelor students usually take up their studies in the winter term (October) each year. Applications are then due latest in September. International students are requested to apply long before to reduce bureaucratic hurdles. degrees with versatility 1 A consecutive Master of Science (M.Sc.) program builds on a previously completed bachelor s program in the same field. It allows students to deepen and broaden the knowledge and skills previously acquired. 2 A non-consecutive M.Sc. program requires a bachelor s degree, but provides the chance to acquire knowledge and broaden skills in a new field. 3 A professional Master s program requires in addition to a first degree 1 year related practical work experience. 4 Traditional German Diplom, equivalent to M.Eng./M.Sc.
