Background
Institute of Earth Sciences
Institute of Earth Sciences is the largest center in the North Caucasus spreading modern knowledge in areas like Geography, Geoinformatics, Environmental Science and Nature Management, Oil and Gas Engineering and Cadaster with training delivered by top experts coming from both Russian and foreign academic circles. Oil and Gas Engineering is delivered also in English. Currently the institute is actively developing academic mobility of teachers and students.
Our mission is to offer high-quality training supplying true experts to be further employed in the North Caucasus, nationally and internationally. Prepare specialists who would apply advanced knowledge to their respective professional spheres.
Our graduates find employment in the oil and gas industry, GIS technologies, consulting and design agencies, management authorities, as well as in organizations involved in designing and maintaining natural and cultural heritage, education and research.
