Master in Geology

Environmental consultancy, mineral and oil prospection, research, civil engineering, ...

The geologist can be involved in local, regional or even global thematics.. His background training can lead him equally to positions in the public or private sector. The technical skills acquired in the Master of Geology are greatly valued in the industry related to geomaterials (civil engineering, cement ...) and geological resources (water, mining, oil). An increasing number of opportunities also exist in the public and non-governmental sector related to the management of natural hazards, land use or decontamination of soils and aquifers.

Today, more so than ever, geologists are . Their multi-disciplinary background on earth and environmental sciences allows them to tackle complex issues associated with the impact of human activity on our planet. They are, and will be in the future, key players in the sustainable development of our societies. In addition to receive a solid formation on the theoretical, field and analytical tools necessary to a modern geologist, our Master in Geology give to the student the opportunity to choose between two in-depth specializations : geochemistry-geology or geochemistry-environment. Our cursus provides student with strong professional skills that will lead them in scientific research but equally in the private sector in environmental consultancy or prospection, exploitation, management of natural resources.

The Master of geology is based on the contributions of recognized experts in the fields of volcanology; isotope geochemistry and cosmochemistry; biogeochemistry and chemical oceanography; sedimentology; mineral deposits, and global modeling of the Earth system. In addition, close collaborators from the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Belgium, the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA) and the Royal Observatory of Belgium participate actively to the teaching in within the "Pole Géosciences de Bruxelles".
