Course Overview

Assuming that you are here for an unforgettable experience during your exchange semester/year, we recommend you start exploring Taiwan due to its location and unique geological structure, which offers a variety of breath-taking scenery. To guide you through the geographical features of this beautiful island, the Dept. of Geoscience is now offering an elective course-Introduction to Field Geology (II), which gives a general geological introduction to Hengchun Peninsula, Southern Taiwan. This course will be taught in English and it is especially designed for international students. Therefore, international students (including degree students, exchange students, and visiting students) are highly encouraged to take this course to explore Taiwan together with geologists!
