GENERAL PRESENTATION OF THE FACULTY In the nearly 150 years of existence of the University of Iasi, the field of geosciences has been represented almost uninterruptedly, while the faculty bore various names, being more extended at times by including specialities from the fields of Biology and History. From 1990, the faculty bears the name of Faculty of Geography and Geology. It is a higher education institution financed by the State, with a complex structure, well-adapted to the demands of the Romanian society, but also open towards Europe. Within the faculty there are both theoretical and technical specializations; as a result, the development strategy has particularities designed to suit each field. The didactic activity within the Faculty of Geography and Geology is organized in cycles of university studies (according to Law 288/2004), divided into fields of study and specializations: -Bachelor studies -Master studies -Doctoral studies The Faculty of Geography and Geology is structured as follows: 1.The Department of Geography: it ensures specialized training in the following areas of Bachelor studies: Geography (long duration full time learning – 3 years) for the following specialities: -Geography -Tourism Geography -Land Planning -Hydrology and Meteorology Environmental Science (long duration full time learning – 3 years) in the speciality: -Environmental Geography 2. The Department of Geology: it ensures specialized training in the following areas of Bachelor studies: Geology (long duration full time learning – 3 years) in the speciality: -Geochemistry Geological Engineering ((long duration full time learning – 4 years) in the speciality: -Geological Engineering The postgraduate studies comprise the following Master’s programmes: Within the Department of Geography; -Natural Hazards and Land Planning -Tourism and Regional Development -Present Environment and Sustainable Development Within the Department of Geology: 9 FACULTY OF GEOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY Student Guide – 2009/2010 -Environmental Geochemistry -Welling and Environmental Geology 3. The Research Department of the Faculty of Geography and Geology: it has its own structure and budget, conducting scientific research in the following fields: Geography, Geology, Environmental Science and Geological Engineering. The activity of the Research Department is focused particularly on the reaching of the scientific and technological objectives established through various national and European Programs for scientific research and development. The Research Department is also in charge of reporting (annually or periodically) the results of the scientific activity conducted within the faculty, including through research grants or through conventions or contracts with other institutions. Three research centres, recognized or approved by the competent authorities, are subordinated to The Research Department: - The University Centre for Human Geography and Land Planning (CUGUAT- TIGRIS) - The University Centre for Physico-Geographical and Pedological Research for a Sustainable Exploitation of Natural Resources (CUCFGPEDRN) - The University Centre for Geochemistry and Determinative Geothermometry (CGGD) The Doctoral School of the Faculty of Geography and Geology (SD-FGG) is included in the Department for Doctoral Studies (DSD) of the Institution Organizing University Doctoral Studies, “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi (IOSUD-UAIC), which coordinates its activity. The function of SD-FGG is to plan and organize the doctoral research activity in the fields of Geography, Geology and Environmental Science by coordinating the activity of PhD mentors, PhD candidates and of other categories of academic personnel included in its structure. The aim of SD-FGG is to train specialists in the fields mentioned above so as to reach the standards set by the Bologna Process and those of the National Program for Development, also taking into consideration the criteria of the Operational Programme for the Development of Human Resources. The Faculty of Geography and Geology has amiable relations with prestigious universities of the European Community, from francophone countries (France, Belgium), Anglo-Saxon countries (England, Germany, Switzerland) or countries where Romance languages are spoken (Italy, Spain) or from other regions (Japan, the United States of America etc). Students and teachers from our faculty have had the opportunity of conducting research, gathering information or training themselves abroad for certain periods of time or have benefited from cotutelle PhDs (France) or the possibility of doctoral studies abroad (Japan, the United States, Switzerland, Italy). A great number of opportunities for student and teacher mobility within programmes such as
