The Ph.D. in Geological Resource and Geological Engineering is a research-focused doctoral program designed to cultivate advanced scholars, researchers, and professionals in the exploration, evaluation, development, and sustainable utilization of geological resources, as well as in the engineering applications of geology. Typically offered under the discipline of Geological Resources and Geological Engineering at leading universities such as Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), this program is a full-time doctoral program lasting 3–5 years, with instruction primarily in Chinese, and research supervision often available in English for international students.

The program aims to develop experts with deep theoretical knowledge, advanced analytical skills, and strong research capabilities in areas such as mineral resource exploration, geotechnical engineering, environmental geology, and infrastructure support. Graduates are trained to conduct innovative research, solve complex geological and engineering problems, optimize resource development, and ensure environmental safety in mining, construction, and urban development projects.
