Course Description:

Geology is the primary Earth Science and looks at how the Earth formed its structure and composition, as well as the types of processes acting upon it. This course provides fundamental geological knowledge, particularly regarding the lithosphere, the phenomena that occur within it, and their relationship with human activities. This knowledge forms a necessary foundation for subsequent courses in Environmental Engineering, Geotechnics, and the Science and Technology of Materials. The course combines theoretical and practical studies, aiming to enable students to acquire skills relevant to various areas of Civil and Environmental Engineering. This enables them to characterise the different geological contexts in which a civil and environmental engineer will work.
