About Our Programs
The Department of Structural Geology and Remote Sensing offers a variety of academic programs that aim to
teach students the skills necessary to deal with different geological data, and focus on structural geology. The
programs also promote the dissemination of the culture of using computer programs and their applications, especially
remote sensing programs, GIS programs, and methods of land surveying and imaging.

Bachelor program
The department's program consists of general courses in geology in the pre-specialization stage in
the department, then the focus will be on specialized courses in structural geology and remote
sensing, such as the study and analysis of terrestrial structures and methods of measurement and use
of them in locating natural resources, and determining the kinetic history of the study areas.
Courses related to the use of modern technologies such as remote sensing and GIS are also offered to
deal with aerial
and space images, produce various geological maps, locate natural resources, and study geological
hazards.
Program objectives
-
