For new international students
The course covers sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous petrology with description and classification of common sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks.
Spring term 21 | All the theoretical lectures will be run early morning on ZOOM from 9.00 to 11.00. Students can follow the theoretical lectures from home. Practicals in the afternoon from 13 to 16 on Campus (with the possibility for students to stay up to 17 in order to avoid the peak time in the public transport). As there is the possibility that the 7+1 role will be extended, microscopes will be displayed in different rooms in order to have 7 students and 1 assistant. There will be only 1 theoretical exam. Some practicals will count for exam (they will have the possibility to do these practicals from home if they want, as no microscope is needed).
