As part of Galala University’s commitment to experiential learning, students from the Petroleum and Mining Geology Program participated in a scientific field trip to study rock formations and geological structures along the Galala road.
Practical training is a cornerstone of the academic experience in the Petroleum and Mining Geology Program, providing students with essential field skills and real-world insights into geological phenomena. Through such activities, Galala University ensures its students are well-prepared for future careers in the geosciences, combining classroom knowledge with practical exploration.
Galala University’s recent scientific field trip for Petroleum and Mining Geology students directly supports multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
SDG 4: Quality Education
The field trip reflects the university’s commitment to delivering high-quality, experiential education. By integrating hands-on field training into the curriculum, students gain real-world skills and practical understanding that go beyond traditional classroom learning.
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
By equipping students with the practical tools needed for careers in petroleum, mining, and geological research, Galala University contributes to building a workforce ready to innovate and strengthen key industries related to natural resources and infrastructure.
SDG 13: Climate Action
Understanding geological formations and natural resources is fundamental to addressing environmental challenges. Educating students in geosciences helps prepare future experts who can contribute to sustainable natural resource management and climate resilience.
SDG 15: Life on Land
Through studying Earth’s structure and geological processes, students also gain knowledge crucial for protecting ecosystems, managing land use responsibly, and preventing land degradation or natural hazards.
