Geology Studies

The study of geology in the department of Environment and Biodiversity at the University of Salzburg introduces structural, geological, hydrogeological, environmental and formational processes of the solid Earth and its components with a strong focus on understanding the links between deep and surface dynamics of the earth. As such, it provides a solid scientific training in the broader, professional fields of geology. 

The study programme follows the internationally-recognised, three-tier university system (Bachelor – Master – Doctor). The study of geology is divided into a six-semester bachelor´s degree and a four-semester master’s program, both of which are currently taught completely in german.The master’s program leads on to the doctoral studies program in Natural and Life Sciences (in english or german).
