Level:  master academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Master engineer of geology

Master studies are a continuation of undergraduate studies. They are more open than undergraduate studies. Specifically, almost all courses at these studies are elective. Which courses the student will choose, depends on his immediate interests and themes that he wants to deal with. This way, studies are given more of a scientific character. Narrowly vocational subjects on master academic studies are designed to follow the latest developments in the field of hydrogeology. Completed master studies allow engineers access to the PhD studies.

TThe objectives of the master degree program of academic studies are: - Transfer of scientific knowledge and skills of senior specialist level and the possibility of continuing education at the doctoral studies level, - Continuous development of the profession and science and providing the programme to be up-to-date, - Arrangement of the evaluation system in accordance to systems of EU countries and employment opportunities at the world labor market, - Modernization of programme contents and increase of the application of acquired knowledge for professional engineering work in the field of hydrogeology, - Providing of young specialists and scientists.

Upon completion of academic studies, master engineers acquire competence to a work in a team or independently perform all types of work in the field of hydrogeology. Master engineers have been trained to design fundamental, detailed and complex hydrogeological investigations, to conduct efficient field investigations and laboratory testing, to perform analysis and interpretation of the data and to solve specific problems. In our educational system, they are the only one competent in the design and conduction of hydrogeological investigations: field, laboratory and cabinet, as well as in the development of hydrogeological background, as the basis for the design, conduction and supervision of various hydrogeological facilities. Master engineers of hydrogeology are expected to work in following areas: - Projects of detailed and fundamental hydrogeological research for all types of underground water and geothermal energy; - Studies on the reserves of all types of underground water and geothermal energy; - Study the feasibility of building a factory for the production of bottled underground water; - Hydrogeological studies and reports for the opening of underground water sources; - Projects for deep hydro and geothermal wells; - Projects for exploitation of geothermal energy; - Projects for hydrogeological monitoring; - Preparation of hydrogeological maps of all scales; - Testing of groundwater quality; - Thermal-physical tests of rocks and building materials; - Hydrogeological and hydro-chemical prospecting for different purposes; - Studies of the mine drainage; - Economic evaluation of water sources and springs of all kinds of underground water and geothermal energy; - Project documentation related to the use of geothermal energy; - Consulting services regarding the exploration, exploitation and protection of all types of ground water; - Hydrogeological mathematical simulation models; - Geothermal simulation models; - Geological and hydrogeological information systems; - Forensics and so on.

Completed Undergraduate academic studies in corresponding or related scientific field, with total amount of 240 ECTS credits, at least.
