Applied and environmental geology

The Bachelor’s degree programme Applied and Environmental Geology provides comprehensive higher education. It is intended for those who plan to work in different geological companies of applied science (environmental geology, hydrogeology and engineering geology and economic geology).

“Geology - science indispensable for society and for nature conservation”

Its aim is to prepare graduates for basic work in companies as well as to further study and to allow them a qualified choice of their further profiling through some of the specializations of the follow-up master's program.

The curriculum of the Bachelor’s study programme covers the basics of geological disciplines (Mineralogy, Paleontology, Physical Geology, Applied geophysics, Petrology, Geochemistry, Historical Geology, Quaternary Geology, Regional Geology, Economic Geology, Hydrogeology, Geotechnics and Environmental Geology).

Specific training courses prepares graduates for practical tasks. An integral part of the study is practical training in the field and field work.

Practical training

An obligatory part of the study is a block Course of terrain work, field exercises and excursions, as well as practical exercises for compulsory and obligatory optional subjects.
