Geology and Geoenvironment
 
The Programme of Postgraduate Studies in Geology and Geoenvironment leads to M.Sc. or Ph.D. degrees in the following schemes:
  1. Structural Geology and Stratigraphy
  2. Applied and Environmental Geology
  3. Natural Resources-Environment
  4. Geophysics
  5. Petrology-Geochemistry
  6. Geography and Environment
 Basalt

The Postgraduate Programme leads
- either to M.Sc. degree in anyone of the above branches
- or to Ph.D. degree in Geology with emphasis in the above branches
- or both

For the MSc the time required is between three (3) and five (5) semesters.
For the PhD the time required is between three (3) and six (6) years.

Director of the programme is Professor Chatzidimitriou, Panagiotis (Department of Geophysics).
