What does it train you for?
The main aims of this two-year degree are:
- to provide a thorough knowledge in Earth Sciences;
- provide in-depth mastery of scientific methods;
- ensure a solid ability to professionally apply the knowledge and methods of Geology.
- carry out multidisciplinary studies of the Earth System, defining the models necessary both for a proper spatial planning and for a correct design of civil engineering works;
- develop strategies for the investigation and modelling of geological processes to enable both an accurate and modern assessment of the geological risk and a quantitative characterization of fossil or renewable georesources, their management and vulnerability.
What do you learn?
After a first part with four compulsory teachings focused on the multi-faceted aspects of Applied Geology, a second part is split into three suggested paths (geological-paleontological; applicative geomorphological- geological; mineralogical-petrographic-geochemical-geophysical), with the possibility of personalizing one's own path thanks to a wide range of courses of choice. Overall, the educational plan includes:
- Courses, LAB and field trips;
- Seminars, group working, technical visits and traineeships at public agencies, private companies and construction sites;
- Periods abroad under the supervision of the hosting partner university, within the framework of international agreements.
What can you do with it?
