About Geological Sciences, BSc - at Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, University of Milan
The general objectives of the degree programme in Geological Sciences are to develop: a solid, basic understanding of the main areas of Geological Sciences, individual capability in choosing and implementing methods and techniques in the relevant fields of scientific investigation, suitable training for handling and integrating future scientific and technological progress, and the skills to deal with the fundamental processes of exogenous and endogenous Earth systems correctly.
The course aims to produce graduates with the following:
- a good understanding of the fundamentals of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and IT to be able to quantify and interpret geological processes and the structure of the Earth;
- a solid, basic understanding of all areas of Geological Sciences to be able to recognise and interpret the natural mechanisms that are characteristic of the geological environment;
- analytical skills in field geology, with respect to basic geological mapping in different territories;
- analytical laboratory skills, with respect to characterising geomaterials and their behaviour;
- technical skills in the use of basic geological surveying tools;
- ability to gather and process data using IT methods which are both general and specific to the geological sciences;
- ability to apply mathematical models that simulate geophysical and geological processes.
