Level:  doctoral academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Phd - geological engineering

The study programme is carried out within the scientific field of Mining/Geological Engineering. Studies are conducted in the course of three academic years (six semesters). Curriculum of the Hydrogeology study programme is carried out in cooperation with other study programs at the Faculty of Mining and Geology. The study program includes compulsory and elective courses, with study research work, that presents significant part of the programme. Individual courses are conducted during one semester. The candidate selects courses in accordance with the doctoral thesis, with mandatory consultation with the supervisor and the relevant professor. Major part of the study research, which is conducted during the studies in the framework of compulsory and elective courses, the project of doctoral thesis, seminars and scientific research, is related to the doctoral thesis.

Education of personnel, who are competent for conducting original scientific research of high quality in the field of hydrogeology, represents the clear objective in contributing to the overall advancement of knowledge and progress in general. The study programme focuses on educating the doctors who will, during their careers, lead a successful research in many specialties of hydrogeology and develop a sense to create proposals for oral and written communication of high quality, presentation of scientific results and the establishment and development of international scientific cooperation.

Future doctors will be qualified to understand and use the newest knowledge in the area of hydrogeology, to develop their creative abilities and to respect the ethical code during scientific researches, to gain satisfying level of written and oral communication, to present scientific research results at national and international scientific conferences and to publish those results in leading scientific journals, to solve complex theoretical and practical problems from different areas of hydrogeology, that are covered by curriculum of studies and to develop suggestions for scientific and technical researches in those areas for national and international scientific founds, independently or in team, to participate or manage national and international scientific projects under EU framework, UNESCO projects, etc. Doctor of hydrogeology is qualified to impose new approaches in specific field of hydrogeology, to write scientific papers and projects and participate in academic and other types of studies.

Completed Undergraduate and Master academic studies in corresponding or related scientific field, with total amount of 300 ECTS credits, at least.
