The course in brief

Presentation

The geological setting and internal dynamics of the Earth affect its evolution and impact social development. The effects of earthquakes, volcanic activities and hydrogeological disruption are well known, as is the need to find and manage energy, water and mineral resources. The course provides the basic knowledge to train modern geologists prepared for land monitoring and management and able to collaborate with professional figures from different backgrounds.

Learning by doing

Traditional lectures, which provide a framework for fundamental geological processes and provide a solid background in all areas of geological sciences, are supplemented with:

  • laboratory activities and project development on cutting-edge topics, including in collaboration with external research institutions and professional firms;
  • teaching, field study activities in different geological settings;
  • stages and internships at research institutions and professional firms;

Professional outlets

Our graduates find employment in public agencies, private companies, corporations and professional firms involved in monitoring, management and planning of the territory and its resources, forecasting and mitigation of potential risks related to geological phenomena.

What you will learn

Geologia e Paleontologia

si occupano della comprensione dei processi geologici della litosfera e della ricostruzione dell'evoluzione della vita nel passato

Geomorfologia e Geologia Applicata

forniscono le conoscenze per la comprensione delle dinamiche ambientali e la valutazione dei rischi geologici

Geochimica, Mineralogia, Petrografia, Georisorse

forniscono conoscenze sulle proprietà chimico-fisiche di minerali, rocce, fluidi e geomateriali

Geofisica

si occupa dello studio della struttura e dei processi della Terra superficiale e profonda

Did you know that.

I Laureati Triennali possono sostenere l'Esame di Stato di Geologo-Sezione B e acquisire la qualifica professionale di Geologo Junior (https://unige.it/postlaurea/esamistato/geologo)

Alla fine del nostro percorso di studi il 90% dei nostri laureati lavora nel campo della geologia

Abbiamo attivato scambi Erasmus e collaborazioni con prestigiose sedi europee

Le attività laboratoriali e le esercitazioni pratiche sul campo sono attività fondamentali del nostro percorso formativo.

Contents

The Bachelor of Science degree in Geological Sciences confers on the graduate the basic knowledge of the Earth system and the processes that regulate its dynamics in different environments. It prepares to acquire data on the ground and in the laboratory and to process these data to obtain information inherent in geological-environmental problems. The objective of the course of study is to train professionals capable of dealing with geological problems both of a technical and professional nature and of scientific research.

The first year is aimed at studying the basic quantitative disciplines (mathematics, physics and chemistry) and introducing the fundamental concepts of geology. In second year the study of geological materials (minerals, rocks, sediments, and waters) and the main geodynamic environments is addressed in detail. Finally, in the third year the student will be directed toward more specific aspects inherent in the mapping of geological bodies, georesources, and technical geology. The training is complemented by internships, excursions, and geological field campaigns.
