The Master’s in Geology at Chengdu University of Technology is a three-year academic graduate program within the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences that leads to a Master of Science degree in the first-level discipline of Geology. This research-oriented program emphasizes advanced training in fundamental geological sciences such as mineralogy, petrology and ore deposits, structural geology, Quaternary geology, and geochemistry, preparing students to understand Earth processes from microscopic mineral structures to large-scale tectonics and sedimentary systems; the curriculum combines rigorous coursework in theory with practical fieldwork, laboratory experiments and modern analytical methods under faculty supervision, culminating in an independent thesis project that contributes to the discipline. Geology at CDUT is part of the university’s strong earth science portfolio, which is recognized as a “double first-class” discipline in China and integrates closely with related fields such as geological resources and geological engineering, offering students opportunities for interdisciplinary research, professional development and careers in academia, exploration, environmental studies, resource management and geoscience applications globally.
