Syllabus
 
Students finish their studies and are awarded the B.Sc. in Geology after having completed at least 205 credits (or 240 ECTS credits) from the total number of courses. The 153 credits (or 180 ECTS credits) come from the compulsory courses and the remaining 52 credits (or 60 ECTS credits) from the optional courses.

Field Training comprise eight compulsory and five optional courses allocated with 16 credits and, each student can complete at least 16 credits. The course Field Mapping (6th Semester, 5 credits) is compulsory for all students as well.

The Syllabus contains the following directions:

  • Structural Geology and Stratigraphy
  • Applied Geology
  • Mineralogy-Petrology
  • Economic Geology
  • Geophysics
  • Meteorology and Climatology
  • Environmental Geography

 Optical Mineralogy Class

Students can apply for courses not included in the programme of the School of Geology, but taught in other Schools of the University. These courses can not be more than 2 and must be related to the Geosciences. In this case the approval of the School of Geology and of the other School both are required.

Each course is assigned a code number consisting of 3 letters and 3 numbers. The first letter (G) indicates the School of Geology. The other two letters indicate the Department to which the course belongs. The first number indicates the semester and the remaining numbers the serial number of the course. The letters GGN indicate the courses which are taught by the Teaching Staff of other Schools or, which are taught by colleagues of different Departments of the School of Geology. Finally, each code number is accompanied by the letter (Y) for compulsory or letter (E) for optional courses, respectively.
