The revised curricula for associate degree, Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Geology focuses on bridging theoretical knowledge and practical uses that contain modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, calculation modeling and geospatial analysis.
New specialized courses, including AI & Computational Geology, have been introduced to equip students with advanced technological skills relevant to contemporary geological research and industry practice.
The revised curricula will be circulated to universities nationwide for implementation when formally approved by HEC management.
