Applied and environmental geology

The aim of teaching in the follow-up master's program Applied and Environmental Geology is to provide a master's education in applied geological disciplines, i.e. to consolidate and deepen the education obtained in the bachelor's program, to familiarize with the detailed issues of applied geological disciplines, to develop practical skills including work from fieldwork to the preparation and management of practical company tasks to writing final reports. The program allows students to focus on economic geology, geotechnics, hydrogeology, and/or environmental geology, depending on their interests. The program primarily provides the qualification of a company geologist prepared for independent work in geological companies working in applied geological fields, such as the search for and exploration of mineral resources, the geological survey of construction sites, the nature of groundwater, and/or contamination of the rock environment. Second, the program also provides qualifications for administrative staff of administrative bodies and offices managing and controlling the work of companies (e.g., departments of construction, environment, mining office, etc.). The teaching in the program is done both in full-time and combined forms.
