Welcome to GUtech's Applied Geosciences webpages

The Bachelor of Sciences in Applied Geosciences focuses on three areas of key importance to the region's present and future: energy, water and mineral geosciences. A strong emphasis is also placed on the employability of GUtech's graduates, and many elements of the programme will be accomplished in cooperation with local and international industry partners. Critical thinking and life-long learning are essential, and soft skills such as communication, teamwork and presentation skills are integrated throughout the four year programme.

Students will take the majority of their courses in Oman, including field-based training involving outdoor activities. Courses will be taught by faculty staff based in Muscat together with visiting professors from GUtech's international partner RWTH Aachen University. For courses requiring highly specialized equipment, students will travel to Germany to complete the courses at RWTH Aachen University.

The BSc in Applied Geosciences at GUtech was specifically designed professors of Geosciences at RWTH Aachen University to meet the needs of Oman and the region.

The Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering is one of four faculties which founded the RWTH Aachen University of Technology. The long tradition of the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering dates back to the regional resources from Coal, Iron to Lead and Zinc, which was mined in the Aachen region, as early as thousands of years ago.

The German Faculty cooperates closely with industry and research institutions. A significant part of the Faculty's funding comes from industry. This reflects the high standard of its practical research work. In the area of Geoscience, Aachen has a leading position in Germany in the fields of Petroleum Geoscience and Water Geoscience.

Today, more than ever before, a practical scientific education offers the best career opportunities. The Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering offers an ideal environment for an early integration of students into research. They participate in current research projects during their studies. Many students work as student assistants at University departments.
