Geological engineering

The study program Geological engineering is part of the study field Acquisition and processing of earth resources. The mentioned field of study includes knowledge related to the acquisition, processing, use and protection of earth's resources. Earth's resources are sources of raw materials and energy in the earth's crust, on its surface, at the bottom of seas and oceans, in underground and surface waters, and in the earth's atmospheric envelope. Identification of these resources, technologies for their acquisition and processing, technical, information, geological, economic, business, managerial, management, production and logistics processes and knowledge about them are part of the field of study.

Graduates of the study program will acquire synergistically linked knowledge from the basic natural science and engineering disciplines, an applied set of geological and environmental knowledge and the methodology of exact evaluation and visualization of geological data and sources. Graduates will get a perfect overview of the construction of geological regions of Europe and the world, with an emphasis on the Western Carpathians, their neotectonic risks, methods of their monitoring and methods of remediation of potentially endangered areas. Perfect knowledge of the genetic regularities of the development and distribution of all types of industrially important deposits of mineral raw materials, sedimentological aspects of creation and technological methods of obtaining and exploring hydrocarbon/geothermal accumulations, design methodology, research and modeling of the protection of the risk ecosystem of the uppermost part of the earth's crust provide the graduate of the study program with a wide range of mobility to domestic and foreign labor market.
