Learning outcomes
Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide a shared cultural foundation of the unifying concepts of Earth Sciences.
Knowledge
Concepts expounded in the course will allow students to:
- understand the history and evolution of planet Earth; the evolution of Earth processes and the underlying endogenous and exogenous dynamics; the formation of landforms and landscapes;
- provide the tools for the assessment of geological and geomorphological hazards; understand the scope of Earth Sciences in environmental science;
- understand the purpose of geological classifications; understand how fossils provide information about environment changes and the evolution of species in geologic time;
- identify the main rock types and their originating processes.
Abilities
- identification of the most common types of minerals and rocks, along with the originating geological processes;
- identification of the most common fossils, especially those that are found in the Veronese area;
- identification of the main geomorphological features of the territory;
- reading a geological and/or geomorphological map and extracting basic information.
Program
Course Syllabus
Adequate English proficiency is required, since the course will make use of teaching material in English. The course will focus on the following topics:
- scope and aims of Earth Sciences;
- elements of geophysics of solid Earth;
- geomorphology: general concepts; examples taken from the Italian and Veronese territory;
- mineralogy: origin and classification of minerals;
- petrography: origin and classification of rocks;
- sedimentology: origin and deposition of sediments; depositional environments;
- stratigraphy: general concepts; examples taken from the Veronese area;
- paleontology: general concepts; classification of the most common and most significant fossils;
- regional geology: geological framework of Italy in the Mediterranean context;
- karst and speleology;
- geological and geomorphological mapping using a GIS;
- geological risk assessment;
- climate and palaeoclimate.

Examination Methods
Assessments Methods
Purpose of the examination is to assess if / how well the learning objectives have been met.
The examination will consist of a written test (both open-ended and closed-ended questions) and of an oral test. Identification of rocks and fossil specimens will be part of the oral test.

Module/Programme news
News for students
There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and soon also via the Univr app.
Erasmus+ and other experiences abroad
Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
Alternative learning activities
In order to make the study path more flexible, it is possible to request the substitution of some modules with others of the same course of study in Mathematics at the University of Verona (if the educational objectives of the modules to be substituted have already been achieved in the previous career), or with others of the course of study in Mathematics at the University of Trento.Attachments

Graduation
Deadlines and administrative fulfilments
For deadlines, administrative fulfilments and notices on graduation sessions, please refer to the Graduation Sessions - Science and Engineering service.
Need to activate a thesis internship
For thesis-related internships, it is not always necessary to activate an internship through the Internship Office. For further information, please consult the dedicated document, which can be found in the 'Documents' section of the Internships and work orientation - Science e Engineering service.
Final examination regulations
Upon completion of the Master’s degree dissertation students are awarded 32 CFU. The final examination consists of a written dissertation on a specific topic agreed with a supervising professor and presented to a commission (Dissertation Committee).
The dissertation can be high-level theoretical or experimental (in the latter case, it may focus on either basic or applied research), it can deal with a theoretical topic or propose the resolution of a specific problem, or description of a work project, and may be carried out at universities, research institutions, schools, laboratories and companies in the framework of internships, traineeships, study stays in Italy and abroad. The dissertation must be original and written by the student under the guidance of a Supervisor. At the request of the student, the dissertation may be written and presented in Italian.
Professors belonging to the Mathematics Teaching Committee, the Department of Computer Science, and any associated departments may be appointed as Supervisors, as well as any professors from the University of Verona whose area of interest (SSD - Scientific-disciplinary Sector) is included in the teaching regulations of the degree programme.
Students may take the final exam only if meeting all requirements set by the School of Sciences and Engineering.
The Master's degree in Mathematics is obtained by successfully passing the final examination and thus earning the 120 CFU included in the study plan.
The material submitted by the student for the final examination will be examined by the Dissertation Committee, which comprises three professors, possibly including the Supervisor, and appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee. The final examination will be assessed based on the following criteria: the student’s performance during the entire study programme, the knowledge acquired during the dissertation work, their understanding of the topic and autonomy of judgment, their ability to apply such knowledge, and communicate effectively and fully all the outcomes of the work and the main results obtained.
The final examination and the degree ceremony will be carried out, in one of the four graduation sessions throughout the academic year, by the Final Examination Committee appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee, and made up of a president and at least four members chosen from among the professors of the University.
For further information, please refer to the Final examination regulations.
