IMPORTANT NOTE!!!

Starting from the academic year 2025/26, the Department of Geology will begin implementing the revised university undergraduate study program Geology for the first year of study. The second year will begin with the implementation from the academic year 2026/2027, and the third from the academic year 2027/2028. For this purpose, a continuation strategy has been prepared for already enrolled students (in case of changes in courses they have taken but not passed) and a transitional strategy for those who may want to switch to the revised study program, which you can find HERE. A detailed overview of the changes, as well as course descriptions, learning outcomes for each course, literature and all other information can be found HERE.
