About the Program

Geology, Geosciences and Georesources is a field that studies the structure, processes, and natural resources of the Earth through a multidisciplinary approach. Earth sciences investigate the planet’s physical characteristics, while geophysical engineering examines subsurface conditions using physics and advanced technologies. These fields are crucial for environmental protection, risk mitigation, and sustainable resource extraction. Geophysical engineers explore the depths of the Earth’s crust using seismic, magnetic, gravity, and electromagnetic methods. They identify areas with valuable minerals or high energy potential and support the efficient and environmentally responsible extraction of these resources.

UFAZ’s program is managed in collaboration with the School and Observatory of Earth Sciences (EOST) in Strasbourg. The Bachelor’s program in Geology, Geosciences and Georesources provides students with a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, computer science, and Earth sciences. The program emphasizes practical and field-oriented training, data analysis, and the integration of various geological methods.

Graduates of this program receive diplomas from both the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU) and the University of Strasbourg (UNISTRA).

Knowledge and Skills Acquired

• Students gain both theoretical and practical foundations in geophysics, geology, and geochemistry.
• They develop the ability to integrate knowledge from various fields to solve problems in Earth sciences.
• Students acquire skills in the collection, processing, and analysis of geophysical data.
• Practical experience is provided through exploration methods, including seismic, gravimetric, magnetic, and electromagnetic techniques.
• Graduates are equipped to work effectively in teams within multicultural and international environments.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Geology, Geosciences and Georesources program have diverse career opportunities in the energy, environmental, and engineering sectors. They can work in geophysical and geotechnical service companies, oil and gas exploration, geothermal energy, hydrological research, and environmental monitoring. Many graduates pursue master’s and doctoral studies to work in research, development, and technical consulting. With strong field skills and analytical training, graduates are well-prepared to work in both public and private sector organizations.
