About the program
Mining engineers are trained in hydrogeological and engineering geological profiles. The area of professional competence is extensive: prospecting, exploration and assessment of various underground waters (fresh drinking water, mineral and thermal water), solution of water supply issues, engineering and geological surveys for the construction of industrial and civil buildings, roads, airfields, etc., as well as assessment of hydrogeological conditions for the development of mineral deposits.
Learning outcomes
- Ability to solve various geoecological problems;
- Providing high-quality drinking underground water;
- Studying the properties of soils and grounds for the design and construction of buildings;
- Assessing water influx and stability of rocks in mine workings.
Career opportunities
Professional hydrogeologists and geotechnical engineers are in great demand in industrial and scientific research organizations, and they also have high chances of finding work in different countries, since hydrogeology is one of the priority areas of the geological industry.
