Introduction
The department of Geology and Mining has started its operation in late seventies under the faculty of Life & Earth Science. Since then this department is doing its best in academic as well as different research fields. A number of graduates are now serving at the different government and International organizations engaged in various natural resources sectors of Bangladesh.
Course Offered
The department now offers the following courses:
a) B.Sc.(Honours): A FOUR years course comprising various subjects of basic and higher levels. It also includes some related subjects including Mathematics, Physics, Zoology and Chemistry. The students of this course must have to submit one research paper related to a compulsary Geological Field work.
b) M.Sc.: An ONE year program with subjects of higher and applied levels including one research thesis related to any of the specialised subjects.
c) M.Phil.: A TWO years program of specialized research. The student enrolled in M.Phil. program can convert his/her program to a program for Ph.D. if his/her research qualifies. In this case Ph.D. degree can be awarded instead of M.Phil. upon completion of more ONE ( total THREE years) year.
d) Ph.D.: A THREE years program of specialized research.
