BSc (Hons) Geology and Physical Geography in Suzhou China | Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University

The Earth's surface system is vibrant and varied, shaped by the interaction of physical, chemical, geological, and biological processes across diverse environments. This interdisciplinary degree combines the strengths of geology and physical geography experts to explore the fundamental processes connecting landscape development with environmental shifts and natural phenomena affecting human societies. You'll learn from faculty engaged in pioneering research, gaining exposure to groundbreaking scientific discoveries before they reach textbooks. Additionally, you'll have chances to participate in projects alongside the Department's research teams.

Your education will encompass in-depth analysis of surface and subsurface processes, valuable for careers in industry, engineering, and environmental sectors. The first two years provide broad training in geological and physical geography subjects, leading to specialized options in the final year.

Liverpool's fieldwork in years two and three is tailored for this program, blending geology and geomorphology with guidance from tutors in both fields.

In your third year, you'll complete a research dissertation focusing on geological or geomorphological themes.

A dedicated two-week field trip to Southeastern Spain in the final year integrates all elements of the Geology with Physical Geography curriculum.

Several programs in the School include lab and field components, with locations spanning urban centers, coastlines, and mountain regions. We welcome applications from students with disabilities and will make reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access to all aspects of the course.
