31/03/2021
Starting from the new academic year, the Department of "Geophysical Methods of Prospecting and Exploration of Mineral Deposits" of the Faculty of Geology of PSNIU will train specialists to work in the positions of geophysicist, geophysicist engineer, head of the geophysical detachment, chief geophysicist and head of the geophysical party.

New specialties are a step towards the development of such areas of the Perm SEC as "Hydrocarbons"and" Solid Minerals".

According to Perm University experts, the number of applications from geophysical enterprises for geophysicist graduates is usually one and a half times higher than the number of final-year students.

"The qualification of" Mining engineer-geophysicist " is especially in demand in geophysical organizations when searching for ore deposits, oil and gas. In 2021, 15 people will be accepted for budget places in this specialization, and targeted training is also possible. Unlike bachelors, specialists will be able to find a job in senior positions, as well as continue their scientific career in graduate school and defend their PhD thesis," comments Vladimir Kostitsyn, head of the new educational program, Head of the Department of Geophysics.

The curriculum includes the necessary industrial disciplines, such as" Oil well diagnostics by geophysical methods"," Computer technologies in geophysics"," Engineering Graphics"," Management in Geophysics and Subsurface use"," Three-dimensional seismic exploration","Metrology, standardization and certification".

Students of the new specialization will undergo practical training on the territory of the educational and scientific base "Preduralie". Practical training will take place at such enterprises as Permneftegeofizika, Mining Institute of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, LUKOIL-Perm, PermNIPIneft, PITC Geofizika, Uralkali, CHEGIS and beyond the Perm Territory: Samaraneftegeofizika, Tyumenneftegeofizika, Surgutneftegeofizika, Kogalymneftegeofizika, Sibneftegeofizika.

The term of full-time training in the profile "Geophysical methods of prospecting and exploration of mineral deposits" is 5 years, part – time training-6 years. You can get acquainted with the rules for accepting documents in 2021 on the PSNIU website in the "Applicants" section.
