The “Geological and geophysical engineering” specialty prepares geologists and geophysicists of various directions, who can get higher education at different levels. The four-year program allows them to master the bachelor's qualification. The engineering BS program is designed for four years. Students study basic technical, special geological disciplines, computer technology, foreign language, principles of production organization, mining law. The degree program aims at equipping our students with the abilities needed to face with confidence the challenges of the domestic and foreign professional sector or of post-graduate academic programs at home or abroad. Our graduates acquire the professional skills that a rapidly shifting technological environment demands, including complex reasoning, critical thinking, and problem solving. They are able to assume leading roles in the industry. In addition, our graduates are in position to succeed in the private industrial sector, in the government sector, as well as in the academic and research environment.
The training of future specialists at the faculty is conducted by a team of highly qualified and well-known scientists and teachers in the geological community.
The work of a geologist and geophysicist is complex and multifaceted. Only with a detailed study of the structure of the Earth's interior with the help of modern geophysical techniques, computer technologies, it is possible to confidently predict oil and gas deposits accumulated at a depth of several kilometers.
After the discovery of the deposit, it is necessary to assess its reserves and rationally conduct development without damaging the environment and subsurface. All these issues are dealt with by certified specialists – graduates of the faculty GE, ASOIU.
The structure of bachelor's degree programs includes a mandatory part (basic) and a part formed by participants in educational relations (variable). The basic part includes: disciplines (modules), which are mandatory for students to master, regardless of the orientation (profile); state final certification. The variable part includes: disciplines (modules) that determine the orientation (profile); practices, including research work. The State final certification based on the results of mastering includes: the state exam (including preparation for passing and passing the state exam); defense of the final research work (including preparation for the defense procedure and the defense procedure).
