1 MA-GEOL DETAILED SHEET Master in Geology This programme is taught in french. Job opportunities Environmental consulting, mineral and oil exploration, research, civil engineering, etc. Geologists can be involved in local, regional, or even global issues, while their background can lead them to positions in the public or private sectors. The technical skills acquired in the Master of Geology are highly valued in industrial sectors that deal with geomaterials (civil engineering, cement, etc.) and geological resources (water, mining, oil, etc.). An increasing number of opportunities also exist in the public and non-governmental sector related to the management of natural hazards, land use planning, and the decontamination of soils and aquifers. Programme objectives Today, more than ever, geologists are geoscientists. Their multidisciplinary background with earth and environmental sciences allows them to tackle complex issues associated with the impact of human activity on our planet. They are, and will be in the future, key players in the sustainable development of our societies. In addition to providing solid training on the theoretical, practical, and analytical tools necessary for a modern geologist, our Master in Geology gives students the opportunity to choose between two in-depth specialisations: geochemistrygeology or geochemistry-environment. Our curriculum provides students with strong professional skills that could lead them to scientific research, but also to careers in the private sector, e.g. in environmental consulting, or in the exploration, exploitation, and management of natural resources. profil d'enseignement [ referentiels/201819/f/m-geola.pdf] cosmochemistry; biogeochemistry and chemical oceanography; sedimentology; mineral deposits; and global modelling of the Earth system. In addition, experts from the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Belgium, the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), and the Royal Observatory of Belgium take an active part in teaching activities, as part of the Pole Géosciences de Bruxelles. ces de Bruxelles. International/Openness Student apply to go on an Erasmus exchange period or a work placement in another university, whether a close ULB partner or a member of an international networks that ULB is part of. Royal Museum for Central Africa (MRAC), Royal Observatory of Belgium and Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. Progression per curriculum unit The concept of a year of studies gives way to a system of accumulation of credits based on the student s individual programme. The cycle programme is offered in units of 60 credits. The units of 60 credits are proposed as an ideal course of study for students enrolled in this programme. Programme title: Master in Geology Programme mnemonic: MA-GEOL Studies level: Masters 120 credits Learning language: Benefits of the training Schedule: The Master in Geology is based on contributions from recognised experts in the fields of volcanology; isotope geochemistry and Campus: Solbosch and Plaine Page 1/9
