Mining and Geology Faculty of the Silesian University of Technology continually adjusts plans and programs to labor market needs and interests of young people. Proposals for the Department in the area of education are very interesting and are of great interest among young people, since the completion of studies in all specialties can work to find not only in mining but also in other sectors of the economy. At present, a constant: 5. Summer-time Master’s study and 3.5 years of study-time (Evening BSc) and Master’s studies external complementary, as well as postgraduate and doctoral studies. 1.10.2007r From. Faculty of Mining and Geology in accordance with the law leads 7-semester study-time programs (day) and part-time (evening and extramural). After the completion of engineering studies can be taken second degree - Master’s. The plans of study, taking into account a system of assigning points semesters have been adapted to the existing standards in the countries of the European Union, which facilitates international cooperation in the field of education. The average number of classes is 24 hours per week. Recruitment for the study of stationary 2008/2009 academic year will take place on the basis of the results of the test items from the weight of school: mathematics (2) and physics and astronomy (2) and chemistry (2) and geography (1.5) and biology (1) and the Polish language (1) and a foreign language (1). extramural engineering studies are carried out in Gliwice (recruitment twice a year) and Engineers Training Center in Rybnik. Recruitment to these studies, performed on the matter of a competition. Evening classes at the studios are run by four days a week and the extra-mural studies in the form of weekend meetings Sunday. After completion of these studies it is possible to take a Master’s degree complementary (extramural or evening). In addition, post-graduate studies are organized within the university whose graduates can upgrade their technical knowledge of the latest scientific achievements in the field of mining. Doctoral studies are carried out in the system and non-state.

Our Geology courses cover a comprehensive range of subjects from Environmental Geology to Prospecting Geology and from Geochemistry and Geo-physics to the study of the ice ages. The geologist seeks to understand the Earth from its formation to the present da

Geology graduates can find employment at national geological institutions, geological prospecting and mining enterprises, at institutions whose activities include protecting natural environment, space planning and industrial use of mineral and rock deposits and also at geophysical institutions, geophysical services including the mining industry, meteorological service, at institutions engaged in protection of the environment and space planning at research laboratories.

You know about the concrete pillars and asphalt parking lots that surround us most of the day.
But what about the earth beneath? Our courses in geology look at physical processes that affect
our planet imagine, for example, a river slicing a canyon so vast it overwhelms the senses-and then
imagine the history of Earth itself. Our courses in geology address not only those topics but more,
including how our great whirling ball of a world works on the inside (plate tectonics, earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions) and those forces which affect it from the outside (streams, glaciers, rivers and
more). Many of our geology courses offer field trips; all offer the opportunity to view our world
beneath the asphalt and the pillars.

An approved program for each candidate may be designed in consultation with the advisor on the basis
of each individual’s objectives. The program shall include not less than 30 semester units earned beyond
the bachelor’s degree in 200-level and 100-level courses approved for graduate credit. All candidates are
required to submit a master’s thesis.

The Department of Geology offers graduate work leading to a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Geology. The M.S. program requires a total of 30 semester hours of graduate credit including 4 semester hours for thesis research. The department enrolls approximately 10 new graduate students annually and has concentrated its efforts in two primary areas of inquiry — applied geology and tectonics.
Financial assistance is available on a competitive basis in the form of graduate assistantships and departmental grants. Research assistantships are funded by faculty grants are also available. Many graduate students also take advantage of the part-time employment opportunities with government agencies and consulting firms in the immediate area.
The Department of Geology has facilities and laboratories for various types of research in engineering geology, geochemistry, hydrogeology, mineralogy, paleontology, petrology, sedimentology, and structural geology. In addition, the department maintains two thin-section laboratories, a map library, a mineral museum, and three on-campus groundwater wells.
Support equipment includes: Trimble-GPS equipment and software, X-ray diffractometer and related software, Atomic Absorption spectrometer, 12 channel enhanced seismometer, infrared spectrometer, gravimeter, and magnetometer. Students have access to t instructional PC laboratory with geologic (including ArcView) and word processing software.

A prospective student must fulfill the general university requirements as stated in the section of the Graduate and Post-baccalaureate Admissions of this Bulletin. To be considered for unconditional admission to the MA in Gerontology, a student must have completed an undergraduate major in an appropriate field with a minimum of grade point average of 3.0. Students whose undergraduate major did not include Gerontology courses should consult the graduate coordinator about making up course deficiencies in Gerontology. If the student’s undergraduate record meets the basic requirements and gives promise of a successful pursuit of graduate work, the program will recommend that the student be admitted to graduate classified status or graduate conditionally classified status specifying the conditions and time limit within which they must be met.

Students will be expected to meet the following criteria:
Meet the admissions standards of the university.
Have an earned undergraduate grade point average of 3.0.
Have completed an introductory course in gerontology or its equivalent.
Have documented experience or competence in interpersonal/group communication skills as demonstrated in a personal interview with the admissions committee, letters of recommendation, or course work.
Have completed a course in statistics with a grade of C or better. Competence may be demonstrated by passing a statistics proficiency test.
Three letters of recommendation from faculty and/or employers.
