Russian State Geological prospecting University

The Russian State Geological prospecting University is one of the world's leading universities training specialists in geological sciences and geological engineering. The University originated from Moscow Mining Academy, founded in 1918. More than 30000 high qualified mining engineers, including 1,300 international students from 78 countries, were trained over the time of its almost centennial existence. Former University name - Moscow Geological Prospecting Institute (widely known as MGRI).
Geological Engineering is the practical application of principles, concepts, and geological sciences to provide sustainable engineered solutions to human needs. These include resource exploitation and management, environmental and geotechnical design involving rock, soil, water interaction, groundwater protection and remediation, risk mitigation, and the non-destructive or geophysical investigation of the subsurface environment for engineering purposes. Our students learn about mineral and energy exploration, evaluation, development, and production engineering site selection groundwater and geo-environmental engineering, including geologic hazards assessment.
Sergo Ordzhonikidze Russian State University for Geological Prospecting (Sergo Ordzhonikidze University) invites you to take part in the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Development Strategy of Subsoil Geological Exploration: Present and Future, The first day of the conference started with a plenary meeting, the following days continue with working in sections and visiting the University's mineralogical and paleontological museums.
MGRI-RSGPU is the only post-secondary institution globally specialized in searching, exploring, evaluating, and developing mineral raw material resources. For more than 90 years, the University trains a professional community for exploration and mining companies: mining engineers, geologists, geophysicists, geo-ecologists, economists, etc. Our graduates get either an engineer's degree or bachelor's and master's degree. In MGRI-RSGPU, there is also a post-graduate education. The post-graduates may get a Ph.D. or a post-doctorate degree in technology, geology, mineralogy, physics, mathematics, or economics. Humankind always uses mineral resources for the development of the productive forces of their own countries. Russia (former USSR) has reached its economic power thanks to the mineral resources' geological investigation.
The high-quality education at MGRI-RSGPU is based on the tremendous Russian scientific school of geological exploration. MGRI-RSGPU trains the specialists to search and extract the whole range of minerals – from plain water to rare-earth elements. The preparation of the specialists for the oil and gas industry is of primary importance at our University. The reasonable tuition fee is not the least of the factors attracting international students to MGRI-GPU. MGRI-RSGPU post-graduate and post-doctorate education is a perfect way for the continuation of an academic career.
