Studies in Geology

The study of geology at the University of Salzburg introduces students to structure, characteristics, formation conditions and formation processes of the solid Earth and its components – rocks and minerals – and provides scientific training for the professional fields of geology. In line with this objective, a three-tier study system is offered, comprising Bachelor, Master and Doctoral degrees. The six-semester bachelor degree (BSc) and four-semester master degree (MSc) are both taught in German and evidence of proficiency in the German language is required (Level B2 or higher).
