Geology

The Master in Geology – organised jointly by Ghent University and Catholic University of Leuven – offers an in-depth training in general geology and a specialised training in selected disciplines of geology. Emphasis is put on acquiring general academic skills such as research and exploration, reporting, co-operation with fellow students and researchers.The student receives the necessary training to analyse and solve new, broader and more complex geological problems. One obtains the scientific attitude to solve these problems by selecting and applying advanced methods (qualitative and quantitative field analysis, direct and indirect observation techniques, physical and chemical analytical techniques, modelling of geological processes etc).
