1. Teaching and Learning Approaches
-
Lectures and Seminars:
Structured theoretical teaching delivered by faculty members, often supported by multimedia presentations, discussions, and literature reviews.
-
Laboratory Sessions:
Hands-on training in geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, geophysics, and GIS. Students gain skills in sampling, analysis, and interpretation of geological data.
-
Field Work:
Essential component of the program, including geological mapping, environmental surveys, and engineering site investigations. Fieldwork develops observational, analytical, and reporting skills.
-
Independent Research and Thesis:
Each student conducts an original research project, culminating in a Master's thesis. This includes proposal development, field/lab work, data analysis, and scientific writing.
-
Workshops and Guest Lectures:
Exposure to industry experts, environmental policymakers, and researchers, helping students connect theoretical knowledge with real-world challenges.
-
E-learning and Digital Tools:
Use of GIS, remote sensing software, modeling tools, and online resources to enhance learning and research capabilities.
