- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 32 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- The course is devoted to students of magisterial program Geology, mainly to those who intend to pass the state examinations in the subject Paleontology. Students will be able on the advanced university level to appply the main micropaleontological methods for study of sedimentary rocks. They will interpret the main stratigraphy, origin and condition of development of sediments on the base of systematic determination of microfosssils .
