Elective Modules (45 ECTS-Credits)
Go to the superordinate section
Elective Module 1: Applied Geology (5 ECTS-Credits; 3 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: positive completion of compulsory modules 1 to 11
Learning Outcome: Students have an advanced knowledge in the field of engineering geology and hydrogeology.
Elective Module 2: Applied Mineralogy (5 ECTS- Credits; 3 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: positive completion of compulsory modules 1 to 11
Learning Outcome: After successful completion of the elective module, the students have an overview of important basics of materials and material science in different technologically important systems and applied geoscientific fields.
Elective Module 4: Petrography (5 ECTS-Credits; 3 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: positive completion of compulsory modules 1 to 11 and 14
Learning Outcome: Students can deal with specific petrological questions by combining theoretical basics, literary research, field work and thin section microscopy and place them in a larger petrological-geodynamic context.
To test and apply the acquired knowledge and skills or to learn about the conditions of professional practice and to acquire additional qualifications resp., a practice corresponding to 5 ECTS-Credits (or 120 hour resp.) must be passed. The practice can also be made during the lecture-free period. Before starting the practice it must be approved by the University Director of Studies. The duration, scope and contents of the practice must be confirmed by the resp. institution with a certificate. Moreover, a report must be written.
Elective Module 5: Earth Science Practice (5 ECTS-Credits) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: positive completion of compulsory modules 1 to 11
Learning Outcome: The students can successfully apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the Bachelor's programme in practice.
Elective Module 8: Earth Science Fieldtrip (5 ECTS-Credits; 4 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: successful completion of compulsory modules 1 to 11
Learning Outcome: After successful completion of this elective module, the students have acquired advanced knowledge in the fields of regional geology, palaeontology, mineralogy or petrology based on selected regional examples and can place them in a larger geoscientific context.
