The curriculum of the Department has been designed to provide students with a high level of education and training in basic and applied research, in order for them to acquire knowledge, skills and values that will be useful in their future scientific and/or professional careers. The structure of the Bsc aims at transferring the necessary know-how and strengthening critical thinking, so that the new graduates of the Department have the necessary skills to face the challenges and develop innovative methods in geosciences and the geo-environment.
The curriculum, which has been reformed over the years and has been implemented from the academic year 2021-2022, reflects the academic character of the Department. A key axis in the development of the programme is the objective of covering the entire scope of the science of Geology and Geoenvironment, which includes both basic and applied research. This is because the applications of this science are directly linked to both the country's basic infrastructure and important production processes, as well as the modern imperatives related to the environment and sustainable development (major engineering projects, natural and mineral wealth, natural disasters, environment, etc.).
Over time, the Department's subjects have included disciplines that cover the entire geosphere, namely the subsurface (classical geological sciences), the marine environment (oceanography), the earth's surface (physical geography and geomorphology) and the atmosphere (climatology, meteorology and renewable energy).
The teaching staff of the Department covers a wide range of specializations and disciplines, in order to cover all the educational needs of the curriculum. In order to best meet the educational and research needs of the Department, the teaching staff includes people whose main degree (or PhD) does not come from Geology Departments, but from other Departments, such as Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Metallurgical Engineering.
