The study programme is focused on utilising the knowledge of geology in state administration and local authorities. Contrary to the research-oriented study programme of Geology, it primarily emphasizes the relations with state administration and the legislature in geology. Its combined form is suitable especially for those employees of environmental departments and departments dealing with the protection of nature who want to complete their tertiary education.

Its goal is to educate the graduates for the follow-up Master's study programmes and enable them to make qualified choices for shaping their professional profile through several follow-up Master's study programmes of Geology. Studies in this programme include basics of individual geological disciplines. The courses aimed at shaping graduates' professional profile include general geology, palaeontology, historical geology, regional geology, mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry. Geological practical landscape training and professional practice are parts of the study plan for the programme.
After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:
- explain and use principal geological terminology
- recognize principal minerals, rocks, fossils and structures
- popularise facts about geological issues and selected areas
