Physical Geography is the study of patterns and processes operating at the Earth’s surface, incorporating the atmosphere, hydrosphere (oceans, rivers, and glaciers, pedosphere (soils), geosphere (rocks), and biosphere. You will examine a range of contemporary, 21st-century research challenges on a local and global scale, and utilize your skills and knowledge to help address these in innovative ways.
The Bachelor of Science Geography includes fieldwork, practical experience, and research. You will learn a range of skills and techniques, including landform interpretation, geochemistry, and geochronology in addition to the application of the latest technologies in spatial sciences, such as global positioning, geographic information systems (GIS), and remote sensing (drones and earth observation satellites).
This degree will present wide-ranging career pathways which may include coastal or estuarine management officer, environmental consultant, spatial data officer, hydrologist, soil scientist, and geoscientist.
Geographers look at the world around us and ask: What is going on? And then they ask: How can we make it better?
This Geography degree program develops your skills in conservation, environmental practices, and social processes through problem-focused and field-based activities.
You can study geomorphology, climate change, coastal processes, biodiversity, palaeoecology, sustainable development, and globalization.
Geography is an integrative discipline that explores the earth as a whole system. Geographers focus on places and spaces to understand the interrelated elements associated with environmental, economic, political, and cultural change, and to propose solutions to problems in these areas. During the course of your studies, you will develop skills in research, geospatial methods, logical and abstract reasoning, as well as in-depth knowledge of the different regions and cultures that make up our global community.
Geography students learn how the environment and humans interact and affect one another. This broad degree program can be understood through three subject areas: physical geography, human geography, and geospatial representation and analysis. There is considerable overlap between these disciplines and even with related fields in the social sciences. Physical geography explores the interconnected components of the environment through the traditional sciences. Human geography examines the interactions between humans and nature, and the reasons and methods for humans organizing into societies.
As a geography graduate, you will be prepared for career opportunities in public service, the non-profit sector, or the business world. A degree in geography can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or another professional degree such as architecture, law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or education.
