This Bachelor degree program is designed as a three-year fulltime study course. The first two semesters are devoted to the intro­duction to geoscience and consolidation of the required mathematics, chemistry and physics. The third semester teaches fundamentals of geology, geophysics, petrology and sedimentology along with practical applications. In the fourth through sixth semesters follows a specializations in three of eight electable geoscientific disciplines with a primarily terrestrial focus, supplemented by block courses in terrain, digital, and general skills. A four-week professional internship and six-week Bachelor thesis complete the study program.

Hydro- and Engineering Geology, Petrology and Mineral Resources, Crystalline Materials, Exploration Geophysics, Geodynamics, Sedimentology, Paleontology, Geochemistry

Graduates of this study program conduct investigations for environmental protection and planning of infrastructure (e.g. roads, dams, landfills, wind power), explore and extract groundwater, hydrocarbons, ore and building materials, analyze and mitigate contaminated sites, and perform tasks in media and product development, public relations and administration. A Bachelor's degree is also the prerequisite for further qualification in a Master program.
