About this programme
The aim of this 4 year course is to train geoscientists to be highly innovative, motivated, and competent in finding and exploiting natural minerals, hydrocarbons, and water resources, as well as solving problems related to the extraction of these earth resources for the benefit of mankind. Our graduates should be able to handle major environmental issues associated with the exploitation of these resources and others resulting from natural and man-made disasters, e.g. earthquakes, flooding, pollution, waste management, noise, etc. It is believed that this mission will be maximally achieved through a well-structured academic program backed by vigorous practical activities and exposures in related industries.
