College of Science

📜 Vision

Earth Sciences should be a pioneering and distinguished major at the academic and research levels. Also, an effective contributor to achieving sustainable development and keeping pace with global developments in the fields of natural resource exploration and environmental protection. It meets the requirements of the labor market.

💡 Mission

Preparing scientifically qualified staff and providing the community with qualified graduates who possess the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to understand and analyze geological processes, explore and exploit natural resources efficiently, contribute to environmental protection, and serve the community through applied research and cooperation with various sectors.

🎯 Objectives

1️⃣ Preparing qualified scientific staff in various geology disciplines

Provide students with specialized theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to study and understand the composition of the Earth, its mineral and rock compositions, and its geological properties by applying the latest scientific theories.

2️⃣ Enhancing students’ ability to explore and monitor natural resources

Develop the skills of exploring geological resources such as minerals, oil, groundwater, and renewable energy, as well as providing sustainable solutions to exploit them efficiently to meet the needs of the community.

3️⃣ Developing scientific research skills and practical application

Training students to design and implement advanced scientific experiments and conduct accurate analyses of geological data using modern technologies, which contributes to finding innovative scientific solutions to geological challenges.

4️⃣ Enhancing the role of geology in solving environmental and societal problems

Enable students to apply geological knowledge to identify environmental hazards (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and desertification) and provide solutions that minimize their negative impacts on humans and the environment.

5️⃣ Developing professional and ethical skills

Instilling the values of commitment to professional ethics and social responsibility in students, as well as developing their abilities to communicate effectively and manage teams in multidisciplinary environments.

6️⃣ Keeping pace with modern technology in earth sciences

Prepare students to use modern geological tools and techniques, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and geological data modeling programs, to analyze natural phenomena and figure out practical solutions.

7️⃣ Qualifying graduates for the labor market and academic fields

Ensure that graduates possess the skills and capabilities that qualify them to compete in the labor market, whether in the government or private sector, or pursue postgraduate studies and scientific research in geology disciplines.
