The master program in Geochemistry for non-professionals is addressed to all students with bachelor degree from all Bulgarian and foreigner universities.
The five semester program in Geochemistry for non-professionals terminates with master thesis. The education comprises at least 4065 academic hours (class work and extramural work), three field trips and thesis. During the 5 semesters the class work and the extramural work provide 140.5 ECTS, the field trips – 4 ECTS and the master thesis provides 15 ECTS.
