Objectives
The inquiry-based study programme of Geology focuses on the basics of the individual geological disciplines. It comprises the core courses of physical geology, tectonics, paleontology, historical geology, regional geology, mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry. Also the practical training and field work form a part of the studies. The students can specialize in the problems of the chosen specialization of their interest - paleontology, mineralogy, speleology, geology-archeology,environmental geology, and others.
-
Learning Outcomes
After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:
- explain and use geological terminology
- recognize principal minerals, rocks, fossils, and structures
- master the common geological research methods used in field work and laboratory work
- solve particular geological problems independently, interpret results of the research, and present the obtained information in written and oral forms
- work independently with the Czech and foreign literature
- process the obtained data using the appropriate information technology
-
Occupational Profiles of Graduates
The graduates can find employment in institutions and companies conducting geological surveys, and also in cultural and educational institutions or universities, environmental organizations, and public administration. They can work in basic and applied research, managerial professions, and in all areas where both theoretical and practical knowledge of geology is required.
