Euro-AgesGeology-related higher educationprogrammes in HungaryIn Hungary there are four universitieswhere geology-related programmesare offered. The traditional ten-semesteracademic programmes started forthe last time in 2005. Since 2006 theBologna System has been adopted.The programmes at B.Sc. level take 6or 7 semesters. A full year of studiesequals 60 ETCS; 1 ECTS equals 30hours of workload. At B.Sc. level thereis no separate ‘geology’ profession;the graduates get their diploma asBachelor of Earth Sciences or EarthScience and Engineering. About 60% of B.Sc. graduates enter the M.Sc.cycle, which started in 2009 and 2010.The “Earth Science” B.Sc. courses offergeology, geophysics, meteorology,geoinformatics, mining engineering,oil engineering, etc. The M.Sc. coursesare more specialized. The expectedannual number of graduates specializingin geology (including engineeringgeology and hydrogeology) is about30. The curricula are rather input-oriented,with no official expectations onlearning outcomes from the employers’side.by Éva Hartai 1En Hongrie, il existe quatre Universitésoù sont enseignés des programmes decursus géologique. Les programmesacadémiques traditionnels, de durée 10semestres, ont eu cours pour la dernièrefois, en 2005. Depuis 2006, le Processusde Bologne a été adopté. Les programmesau niveau licence représentent un cursusde 6 à 7 semestres. Une année complèted’études correspond à 60 ETCS ; 1ETCS représente 30 heures de travail. Auniveau Licence, il n’existe pas de qualificationprofessionnelle bien individualiséeen Géologie, les diplômés obtenant untitre de Licencié en Géosciences ou enGéosciences et Sciences de l’Ingénieur.Le cursus de licence comprend des coursde géologie, de géophysique de météorologie,de géo informatique d’ingénierieminière et du pétrole, etc. Environ 60%des diplômés en licence suivent le cyclede Maîtrise qui a commencé en 2009 et2010. Les cours en Maîtrise sont plusspécialisés. Le nombre annuel total dediplômés en Maîtrise incluant les domainesde la géologie de l’ingénieur et del’hydrogéologie est de 30 environ. Lesprogrammes d’étude dépendent plutôtdes débouchés offerts sans contrôle officieldes connaissances acquises du côtédes employeurs.En Hungría hay curto universidadesque ofrecen programas relacionadoscon la geología. El programaacadémico tradicional de diez semestresempezó por última vez en 2005.El sistema de Bolonia se ha adoptadodesde 2006. El programa de gradoocupa 6 o 7 semestres. Un año completode estudios es equivalente a 60ECTS, 1 ECTS equivale a 30 horas decarga de trabajo. A nivel de grado nose producen profesionales de geologíaindividualizados, los graduados recibenel título de Licenciado en Cienciasde la Tierra e Ingeniería. Aproximadamenteun 60% de los graduadosentran en el ciclo de máster, queempezó en 2009 y 2010. Los cursosde los grados en “Ciencias de la Tierra”ofrecen geología, geofísica, meteorología,geoinformática, ingeniería deminas, ingeniería del petróleo, etc. Loscursos de máster son más especializados.El número anual previsto degraduados especializados en geología(incluyendo ingeniería geológica,geología e hidrogeología) es de unos30. El currículo es bastante orientadoa lo impartido, más que hacia losresultados del aprendizaje desde laperspectiva del empleador.The conventional ten-semester academicprogrammes in geologystarted for the last time in Hungaryin 2005. There were two universities whichoffered these programmes. At the EötvösLoránd University, Budapest the graduatestudents were certified geologists. At Universityof Miskolc they were certified engineeringgeologists. The last students inthese programmes completed their studiesmostly in 2010 but there are some studentsin the conventional programmes whosestudies last more than ten semesters.Programmes in the Bologna SystemThe Bologna System was implemented in1University of Miskolc, Hungaryfoldshe@uni-miskolc.huHungary in 2006. In the new system thereare four universities where geology-relatedprogrammes are offered (Fig. 1). The programmesare validated and accredited bythe Ministry of Education and Culture.The workload of a full-time student forone academic year of study is defined as 60ECTS credits, normally 30 ECTS creditsfor each semester. 1 ECTS credit equals ~30 hours of workload. The Bachelor programmein Earth Science and Engineeringinvolves 210 ECTS credits and the EarthScience programmes involve 180 ECTScredits. The Masters Programmes include120 ECTS credits. The curricula in thegeology-related programmes are ratherinput-oriented and there are no outcomeorientedrequirements.In the B.Sc. in Earth Science programmesfor students specializing in geology andin the M.Sc. programmes in geology themost important subject areas are as follows:mathematics, chemistry, informatics,mineralogy, petrography, geochemistry,palaeontology, physical, structuraland historical geology, environmental geology,applied geology, geology of mineraldeposits and mineral exploration.For Earth Science and Engineering programmesthe B.Sc. students specializing ingeology the subject areas are: engineeringphysics, applied chemistry, economics,informatics, mineralogy, petrography,geochemistry, physical, structural andhistorical geology, environmental geology,geophysics, engineering geology,hydrogeology, mineral exploration, mineralresources. In the M.Sc. programmes in26 European Geologist 30
Euro-AgesFigure 1. Location of the universities offering geology-related programmesGeo-Engineering and Hydrogeology thesubject areas are more detailed.B.Sc. programmes are offered in thefollowing universities:- Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest:B.Sc. in Earth Sciences (6 semesters).Specialization starts in the 3rd semester.Students can specialize in astronomy,cartography and GIS, meteorology,geography, geophysics or geology.- University of Szeged: B.Sc. in EarthSciences (6 semesters). Specializationstarts in the 3rd semester. Students canspecialize in applied earth sciences orgeology.- University of Debrecen: B.Sc. in EarthSciences (6 semesters). Specializationstarts in the 3rd semester. Students canspecialize in meteorology, geographyor geology.- University of Miskolc: B.Sc. in EarthScience and Engineering (7 semesters).Specialization starts in the 5th semester.Students can specialize in mining andgeotechnical engineering, processingengineering, oil and gas engineering orEarth sciences.M.Sc. programmes all last for 4 semesters.These programmes are offered in the followinguniversities:- Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest:M.Sc. in Geology- University of Szeged: M.Sc. in EarthSciences- University of Debrecen: M.Sc. in EarthSciences- University of Miskolc: M.Sc. in Geologicaland Geophysical Engineering- University of Miskolc: M.Sc. in Hydrogelogyand Engineering.As the Bachelor programmes embrace alarge spectrum of specialities the numberof freshmen students is relatively high.In the four universities which offer geology-relatedprogrammes their numbers areabout 300. The number of graduate Bachelorstudents (including all specializations)is about 200. The number of graduates specializingin geology-related programms isabout 50. From this, about 25 enter thegeology-related M.Sc. programmes.In Hungary there is no national definitionor standard for learning outcomes inthe field of geology; it is the right of eachuniversity which offers the programme todefine the learning outcomes. This definitionis necessary for the accreditation ofthe offered programme.Geology as a profession in HungaryGeology is a regulated profession and theofficially recognized geological body is theHungarian Geological Society. The Societyhas about 1000 members and from thisabout 500 are practising geologists, theothers are students or retired persons.Graduates do not need to pass an examto join the Society. The Hungarian GeologicalSociety does not have continuousdevelopment programmes. These areoffered by universities. It is the specificcompany which can require improvementof professional knowledge by postgradualcourses. There are no professional prerequisitesfor entering a job as a geologist, theacademic degree is sufficient to practise.In the Bologna System about 25 geology-relatedBachelor and 25 Masters graduatesenter the labour market annually.About 80% of these are expected to get ajob in the profession, the rest will work inother fields.European Geologist 3027
