Welcome

BA and BSc Programs

From migration and urbanization, to the relationship between gender and space, Geography BA students focus their studies on human geography, particularly how people encounter and shape their environments. Geography BSc students take a deeper look into the human and natural forces that shape the physical world, studying topics like hydrology, topography, earth materials, and climate.

The Experience

Fieldwork is the heart of Geography

Geography is a field science and the best way to learn is to get outside the office, the classroom, and the library and see what is going on

The Experience
Hands on a map

Program

Geography is the investigation of our natural and social worlds, and how people share and interact with the planet
