Study programme aims and objectives

The focus of the study programme is on the critical issues of the future society: rapid changes in Earth's climate and environment, Show more...
and the limited resources needed for development. The study programme gives students a solid base in the fundamentals of Earth systems science and related engineering fields. Combining studies in engineering and physical sciences, the programme provides broad-based systematic knowledge and practical skills in Earth sciences and technologies. It supports further studies at the master's level or starting a professional career in the diverse fields of geosciences and engineering. After graduation and practical work experience, it is possible to apply for a mining engineer's qualification certification.
