Urban geography is an interdisciplinary subject involving urban planning, urban economics, social geography and so on. It is imperative to set up bilingual courses to understand the frontier trends and improve the international academic exchange ability of college students. This paper quantitatively analyzes the cognition of college students' bilingual curriculum construction through questionnaires. The results show that: (1) the students' sense of identity in the bilingual course of urban geography is generally positively related to their future professional ability improvement, English learning interest and career planning. (2) The effect of bilingual teaching quality of urban geography is mainly weakly positively correlated with the teaching method, the proportion of oral English and the proportion of English courseware. The effect of teaching method on teaching effect is obviously higher than that of other aspects. (3) The results of students' choice of the key factors of teaching quality are ranked as follows: teaching methods and means > students' current level > teachers' English ability, but the choice of teaching methods generally tends to be dominated by teachers' teaching and supplemented by students' participation. Therefore, the construction of bilingual courses is carried out from two aspects: for students, pay attention to the cultivation of students' interest in English learning, and strengthen the guidance of students' future professional ability improvement and career planning, as far as teachers are concerned, paying attention to improving their English level and professional quality, the initial teacher of bilingual classroom is undoubtedly the key.
