General Information

The Department of Geology and Survey of Oil and Gas Deposits carries out training of geological engineers majoring in “Oil and Gas Geology”. The training of professionals is conducted according to three-stage model “Bachelor – Specialist, Master”.

  The Department provides postgraduate study supervised by Professors, Doctors of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences B. Maievskyi and O. Orlov, and Associate Professor, PhD (Geology) V. Omelchenko. 

  The Department trains specialists in surveying and exploration of all kinds of mineral deposits, precious metals, rough diamonds, rare and radioactive metals. As well the School offers academic programs in gas and oil geology, geochemistry, petrology and mineralogy, technology of precious stones and metal treatment. Students are supposed to master geological and geophysical methods of reconnaissance and searching; oil and gas field developing, which are combined with dynamics and statics modeling of hydrocarbon raw material deposits; skills to predict their progress and protect environment when prospecting a district for oil and gas.

  These programs help our graduators to be competitive in large oil and gas companies.

  Competitive advantages for the graduates:

  • - to design processes for the study of natural objects in the stages of the regional geological survey, prospecting, exploration and development of mineral deposits;
  • - to carry out a feasibility analysis of geological mapping, prospecting and exploration and to develop management solutions;
  • - to process the results of research using the latest computer technology.
