Baku State University (BSU) having about 23 000 students offers17 majors with 55 bachelor and 153 master degrees, has a broad range of research and training centers (37), a modern Library , two Scientific Research Institute, Institute of Applied Mathematics and Physics Problems. BSU has established cooperation and partnerships with academic institutions in EU and other countries of the world. These cooperation schemes and partnerships include various areas of academic activity, such as, research exchange, student and faculty exchange, and joint-degree programs. The Faculty of Ecology and Soil Science was established in 2011 by the decision of the Academic Council of BSU on November 20, 2010 by order of the Rector No. P-03 dated January 16, 2011. Dean of the faculty is prof.N.T.Shamilov. The Faculty of Ecology and Soil Science has 5 departments, laboratory for Ecology monitoring, scientific research laboratory of the Ecology Chemistry and Ecology Protection. The Faculty will provide new training, a master's degree in three specialties: "Ecology," Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, "Structure of the earth, the cadaster of land and the city."
Since BSU integrated its education system to European 3 stages education system (Bachelor, Master and PhD). New terms require that a student studying for bachelor (education period is 4 years) get a wide knowledge on certain fundamental specialties. The Master’s level (education period 2 years) is a pass way to science, demands to choose tighter specialty.
