The scientific and practical area of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology includes studying geological, engineering and geological conditions related to such issues as
- Search and exploration of groundwater for industry and drinking water supply;
- Search and exploration of mineral water for the provision of sanatorium facilities with balneal and medicinal waters;
- Design and elaboration of the measures to protect groundwater from pollution and depletion;
- Building of industrial and civil constructions;
- Hydrogeological, engineering and geological support of mining operations;
- Prediction of evolving negative geological and geotechnical processes;
- Justification of the measures to minimize environmental and economic damage caused by appearances of negative engineering and geological processes and so on.

The area of the specialization Environmental Geo-Engineering embraces studying hydrogeological, engineering and geological aspects of environment protection, particularly, such issues as
- Environmental safety of human life under intensive industrial impacts on groundwater and geological environment;
- Development of environmentally focused measures in design and constructing water supply facilities, building and operation of hydraulic structures, exploitation of mineral deposits;
- Justification of the methods of underground disposal of contaminated industrial wastes and sewage, radioactive waters;
- Methodical support of geo-environmental studies to assess the conditions on man-disturbed areas;
- Assessment of engineering activity impacts on the environment.

According to the educational programs, the students are studying such courses as underground hydraulics, hydrochemistry, regional hydrogeology, exploration hydrogeology, soil science, engineering geology, environmental hydrogeology.

The basis of modern geological research includes field and experimental methods and computer simulations of physical and chemical processes in aquifers. The same specializations provide training for students in theoretical and applied engineering geology, soil science, engineering geodynamics, regional engineering geology, environmental geology and geological environment protection. In this regard, such disciplines as mathematical statistics, programming, mathematical modeling, and information technologies are of great importance for educating specialists hydrogeologists.

Department graduates master the modern methods of laboratory study of rocks and groundwater, the methods of mathematical modeling groundwater flow and geomechanical processes using computer technology; they can assess and predict hydrogeological and geotechnical conditions of lands taking account for different types of building, and also perform predictive modeling of geological and technological processes, solve the problems of environmental hydrogeology and engineering geology.
