Graduate School of Sciences | Department of Geosciences | (Non-Thesis) Master of Science (MS) Degree

Profile of the Programme

Earth Science , unlike geology, requires a systematic and multi-disciplinary approach, is a science related to the environment . Solving the complex environmental problems due to Human activity and the relationship with the independent changes of the Earth system with mono-disciplinary methods is insufficient. Therefore, Earth Sciences covers all fields of science to determine relation of all the constituent systems of the Earth( Earth, Atmosphere, hydrosphere , etc.) with each other and human. These disciplines are geology, geotechnics , mining, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography , surveying , environmental and agricultural engineering. Nowadays, in the solution of the human or natural origin problems, the necessity of using a combination of the sciences have emerged . Students of the Earth Scieces ,equipped with a new approach , a systematic and multi-disciplinary methods to solve the environmental problems of the world could face in this area of science, will be a new generation of scientists and experts .
