About the program
Learning outcomes
- Interdisciplinarity. The program combines knowledge and skills in geophysics, environmental geochemistry, robotics, computer science, and geospatial data analysis to enable graduates to solve current problems in applied geosciences.
- Relevance. Graduates will not only meet the demands of the labor markets in developed countries, but also stimulate regional progress.
- Practical orientation. Graduates will solve real cases and take part in international research that will create their job-winning portfolio for future employers.
Career opportunities
The acquired knowledge, skills, and experience will allow graduates to find a job in any part of the world, both in mineral-producing countries, such as Russia, Canada, Australia, etc., and countries, where geophysical methods are used in agriculture, environmental quality assurance, construction (many European countries, New Zealand and others).
Graduates will be able to solve practical problems and have the proven experience, which guarantees their competitiveness in the labour market.
