Educational Objectives – Professional Opportunities for Graduates

 

The course is divided into various curriculum strands which offer students the opportunity:

 - to acquire a thorough grounding in the field of analysis, interpretation and tri-dimensional modelling of the geological status of the territory and adjacent sea;

 - to deepen their understanding of predictive models relating to possible risky/dangerous geological phenomena such as eruptions, landslides and hydro-geological instability and earthquakes.

Students will also develop the necessary competences for the analysis and modelling of geo-environmental systems and processes, the evaluation and management of geo-resources, the evaluation and prevention of cultural heritage degradation, as well as for the evaluation and control of volcanic activity.

Some examples of career options are:

 - Geologist;

 - Palaeontologist;

 - Geophysicist;

 - Hydrologist;

 - Earth sciences Researcher/ Technician.

Upon graduation students will be able to work not only as private practitioners, but also within public and private companies.
