Therefore, the specific objectives of such education program are intended to :
POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM MASTER DEGREE AND DOCTORAL PROGRAM ON GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING The Master Degree Program has been established since 1996, and in 2004 the International Program has been started. Recently 40 overseas students are registered as full time Master Students, and more than 15 of the overseas student have been graduated. The objectives of this program are:
While the objective of this program toward graduates is producing geology experts who are competitive in global market, having high integrity, responsive to changes on geological issues and technology development that are faced by the society, able to develop eco-friendly geological sciences, able to develop professionalism in geology fields, and having scientific analysis in solving problems. Doctoral Degree Program (National and International Program) has also been established, and recently five overseas students are enrolled. Indeed, three overseas Doctoral students have been graduated from this department. Meanwhile, two other overseas students will be graduated soon by end of this 2008. MAGISTER OF ENGINEERING IN MINING GEOLOGY This programme is a full time 18 month intensive programme, starting twice a year at the early September and April each year. It provides advanced knowledge and training related to mining exploration and exploitation with respect to sustainable development. It is suitable for those who graduated in geology, mining/minerals engineering or the related subject. The aim of this programme is to produce competent professionals in mining geology which capable to anticipate and tackle the problems of mining exploration and exploitation in industry or as the policy maker. INTERNATIONAL DUAL MASTER DEGREE AND PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCE Indonesia as one of largest oil production countries in the world has been facing with serious problem related to human resources development in Petroleum Geoscience. In response to the increase demand on oil energy in our global community, human resources development in oil industry in Indonesia has been sacrified due to several problems such as :
The goal of Master Course Program in Petroleum Geoscience is to provide qualified human resources (with the international standard) for supporting the sustainable development in oil exploration and exploitation industry. Specific objectives of this program are to provide qualified master graduates which are capable to : a. Develop strategic plan and program for sustainable oil exploration. b. Efficiently manage oil reservoir with respect to socio-economical development effort in Indonesia. LABS AND FIELD STATIONS Dynamic Geology Laboratory Head: Dr. Ir.

Soeroso Notohadiprawiro” Field Geology Station Head: Dr. Arifudin Idrus, ST., MT This field geology station is situated about 40 km to the East of Yogyakarta City, was specifically built for those who are interested in learning geo-science and the related impacts to human and environment. Indeed, this is one of the only two geological field stations in Indonesia, where the history and dynamic of volcanic island of Java can be recorded in this unique area. Moreover, the oldest historical rock in Java (Pre-Tertiary Rock) is beautifully exposed in this area. Some record of the last Yogyakarta Earthquake May 27, 2006 is also preserved here. This station is equipped with a field camp in Beluk Village, Bayat, Klaten, surrounded by hilly Pre-Tertiary and Tertiary volcanic and marine sedimentary rocks. The dynamic geological structure in this area is expressed in complex exposerure of faults and folds. EDUCATION AND TEACHING INSTRUCTION BACHELOR PROGRAM ON GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING Pre-requirement system. On the 3rd semester, besides considering GPA, the subjects that can be taken by students also based on pre-requirement system, i.e. student should take certain required subjects, with minimum grade of D, as scientific base for the next semester subjects. In certain cases, these pre-required subject can be taken in the same semester as their supported subjects. Elective Subjects. Elective subjects are offered on each semester based on certain circumstances, i.e. applicants for the concerned subject are not less than 5 students and not more than 20 for each class. Final Project. In order to write final project report, students can conduct research at certain geological institution or company or join research conducted by lecturers at geological department under their supervision. The writing process of final project report is an integrated analysis synthesis in geological field of which data are obtained from field work at company or research. The detail planning of the report writing is written on the academic guide book published by Geological engineering department. Final project examination. For taking final project examination, final project report should be presented in front of students in colloquium. The examination can be done not more than 3 times while the report prepared should be 4-5 copies. In order to achieve the Degree of Bachelor in Geological Engineering, students should complete 144 credits. Starting the year 2008, this Department has established the Fast Tract Program, where the qualified students will be facilitated to complete both Bachelor Degree and Master Degree within the period of five years. MASTER DEGREE PROGRAM ON GEOLOGICAL ENGINEEREING There are three majors in this program, i.e.:
Every subject material is adjusted to vision, mission, objective, and target of the Geological Engineering Department’s master degree program. Subjects are grouped into compulsory subjects (min. of 15 credits), thesis (8 credits), and optional subjects (min. of 17 credits). The curriculum is based on national curriculum, geological industrial and sciences development, and national and international market needs. The supporting facilities for this program are common room, internet room, classroom, discussion/ meeting room, labs, on field campus, and library. Classroom and meeting room are available at the Geological engineering department and equipped with complete teaching/ learning tools needed. On field campus is located on Bayat, Klaten, which is about 40 km on the east of Yogyakarta.
