Degree Requirements

In order to obtain the degree in Geology and Geoenvironment, the student must satisfy the following conditions:

  • Complete eight (8) semesters of study.
  • Accumulate two hundred and forty (240) Credit Units1.
  • Successfully attend at least forty (40) semester courses (compulsory and elective). In this case the Mandatory includes the Labor Diploma.

After successfully attending the (32) Compulsory Courses, the student accumulates one hundred and ninety (192) credits. To complete the number of two hundred and twenty (240) credits, the student can choose additionally:

The list of courses is posted here.

Notes

Course deliveries and laboratory exercises start from the last week of September. In between, 1-2 weeks are planned for field exercises. The winter semester ends in mid-January. Next, until mid-February, is the winter examination period. The spring semester starts in mid-February and ends in mid-May, when 2 weeks are planned for field exercises.

The spring semester exams are coming up. Finally, the repeat exams take place during September.

Course declarations are made at the beginning of the semester.

Students must declare all compulsory courses of the semester in which they are studying.

Completion of attending the corresponding laboratory exercises is a necessary condition for attending the course exams.

1Credit units (ECTS): Quantified means of expressing the amount of learning based on the workload that students need to achieve the expected results of a learning process at a specific level. (1 ETCS is equivalent to a workload of 25-30 hours)

Graduation Degree Calculation

Since 1/10/2021 the new changes to the undergraduate curriculum are in effect, the changes apply to all undergraduate students admitted in the academic year 2018-2019 onwards.

ATTENTION: Since 1/10/2021 undergraduate students with degrees follow the study program that was in effect when they were admitted to the Department.

For those admitted from Acad. Year 2018-2019 onwards, the amendments are as follows:

Degree Requirements:

To obtain the degree, the student must have successfully attended either at least 40 courses if he chooses the "Dissertation-Literature Review" which requires 20 ECTS for its completion or, at least 42 courses if he chooses the "Diploma Thesis - Bibliography" which requires 12 ECTS respectively.

The degree grade is linked to Credit Units (ECTS) and is now calculated based on either the 40 courses if they include "Dissertation-Research" or the 42 courses if they include the "Dissertation-Literature Review" . In order to derive the degree grade, each course is first multiplied by its credits. The sum of the products is then calculated and, finally, the degree grade is obtained by dividing this sum by the 240 ECTS credits required to obtain a degree. It is reminded that all Compulsory courses (except the Diploma Thesis) have 6 ECTS and all Elective courses have 4 ECTS.

In case the student has attended and received a positive grade in more courses than those required to obtain a degree (therefore he will have exceeded the required number of 240 credits), he will have to choose during his graduation which of the elective courses he does not wish to take be included in the calculation of the degree grade so that it is calculated based on the total number of credits required.

The degree grade is expressed as an integer with two decimal numbers (scale 5 to 10) and the performance is characterized as: "Good" (grade: 5 to 6.49), "Very Good" (grade: 6.50 - 8, 49) and "Excellent" (grade 8.50 - 10.00).

Those admitted up to the Acad. Year 2017-2018 students who, on the day of implementation of the modified curriculum, have courses left to obtain the degree, for the remaining courses they choose will attend the corresponding ones of the modified program and the teaching units of the courses of the curriculum that was in force will be credited upon their admission to the Department, and their degree grade will be calculated in the way they already know and described in the guides of the previous academic years.
