Bachelor's Degree in Geology for Sustainability

The Bachelor’s Degree in Geology for Sustainability was designed to train geologists with a clear awareness of the importance of the sustainable prospecting and exploration of natural resources—such as rocks, minerals, and energy sources—essential to the energy transition. It also addresses the responsible management of water and soil, promoting a balanced use of Planet Earth, with the principles of the Circular Economy at its core.

This programme also prepares qualified professionals to identify and prevent natural hazards that may impact society, contributing to more efficient and resilient territorial planning and land management. It stands out from other academic offerings by being aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopting a geoethical perspective as the foundation of both its teaching and research.
