Our Teaching Programmes

Geography has programmes leading to Arts or Science degrees at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. When complemented by selected papers from other disciplines, Geography offers students an opportunity to develop a degree programme that contains a strong component focused on environmental concerns: from problem analysis to evaluation, planning and management. The Department strongly encourages students to major in Geography, and also to join the Department's fourth year programme and to consider enrolling for a Master's degree.
