Key Summary
Introduction
Doctoral degree programmes are aimed at scientific research and independent creative activity in the field of research, development and technology. The studies are oriented towards preparation for independent creative scientific work within the chosen branch and a standard level of knowledge is proved during the doctoral state examination. The ability to attain original scientific findings and develop them further is proved by the defence of the completed doctoral thesis. VŠB-TUO awards its graduates of doctoral degree programmes the academic degree of “Doktor” (i.e. “Doctor”), abbreviated as “PhD”, used after the name.

Program Outcome
Study aims
The study for the doctoral degree in the field of applied Geology” ensures the preparation of researchers in the area of geological sciences and is highly technology- and application-oriented. Emphasis is put on obtaining a common theoretical base in connection with the area of Earth sciences. This study creates preconditions for familiarising with applied geological disciplines, especially with applied mineralogy and petrography, hydrogeology, deposit geology, engineering geology, drilling technologies and geophysics. Great emphasis is laid on the area of geological information science, planning and evaluation of results of geological operations, economics and management in exploration and industrial geology and problems of environmental protection.
