Most Bachelor-level subjects are fixed in the curriculum. At the Master's level a variety of optional subjects makes it possible to adapt the curriculum to suit individual needs of the student in a wide choice of geosciences, first of all in economic and exploration geology, engineering geology and hydrogeology. A qualifying research project in the major field of study is carried out during the Master's level under the guidance of a supervisor. The project should demonstrate application of skills, theoretical knowledge, and command of field and laboratory methods applied to the solution of basic and applied geological problems. Wide range of project opportunities is available outside the Faculty, particularly at the Geological Survey Institute, the Geological Institute of the Slovak Academy of Science and several Exploration Projects.
Graduates are also well qualified for certain positions in chemistry laboratories.
The Ph.D. level program consists, in part, of lectures, seminars and practical classes, but the emphasis is laid on tutorials and on project work under the guidance of an experienced supervisor. In each of them, a variety of projects is available in different fields of Geological Science, e.g. various types of geological map constructions, geological problems in civil engineering, water and environment management, geological hazard assessment, analyses and syntheses of geological, geodynamic and paleotectonic evolution, reconstructin of geological structure, sedimentological and facial syntheses, mineral deposits formation, basin analysis and oil generation, application of geophysical meth ods in prospection and exploration of raw materials and groundwater resources, etc. A detailed description of individual projects is available on request.
