The competencies that students acquire after passing the exam are as
follows:
• Preparation of detailed geological maps, geological profiles,
stratigraphic columns, and interpreters.
• Application of acquired knowledge in solving various geological
processes and problems based on the evaluation, presentation,
and interpretation of various petrological and geochemical data.
• Participation in petrological and geochemical research on the
content and distribution of macro and microelements, mineral
stability, element fractionation and contamination, as well as
research on mineral deposits.
• Proposing appropriate sophisticated analytical methods for
determining the composition of stable and radioactive isotopes
used in geochronology and geochemistry.
• Actively participating in solving various geological problems
based on isotopic analysis results, such as determining the age of
rocks and minerals and the origin of mineral deposits.
• Determining the type of analytical method for identifying major
and trace elements and using them to interpret the genesis,
formation, and tectonic setting of different types of rocks.
• Classification of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks
using various classification and discrimination diagrams based on
chemical analysis results, as well as determining the tectonic
environment in which the rocks formed.
• Macroscopic and microscopic determination of igneous,
metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, understanding the
formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks, and determining
the degree of alteration of these rocks.
• Basic competencies for comprehensive recognition,
understanding, and analysis of general phenomena and problems
in geomechanics, as well as finding acceptable solutions.
• Planning, supervising, and conducting works in soil and rock
mechanics, as well as preparing expert, developmental, and
scientific reports, projects, studies; taking a leading role in
enterprises and research institutions in developing solutions to
geomechanical problems in work environments, considering load
bearing capacity, stability, safety, usability, cost-effectiveness, and
environmental protection.
• Utilizing acquired knowledge, gaining new knowledge and
experiences, making scientifically and professionally sound
conclusions, and further developing in terms of scientific and
applied research in geomechanics in lifelong learning programs
(doctoral studies, specializations, etc.)
