Human Geography is a social science that studies the world, its people, communities and cultures with an emphasis on relations of space and place, combined with a focus on fieldwork in teaching and research.
Human Geographers find solutions to climate change, economic development, environmental management, population and cultural change, and urban, rural and regional planning.
You'll study conflicts and tensions, consider scientific evidence, critically analyse policy, and identify solutions with environmental sustainability and social justice in mind.
As a Human Geographer, you'll make essential contributions to environmental management, urban planning, and social and economic change processes.
The UOW Bachelor of Social Science (Human Geography) involves a common foundation of compulsory social science and human geography subjects in the first year.
You can complement your degree with a minor study area from any field in the University offering cross-faculty enrolment.
You can also study electives abroad or stay local and undertake activities to build your cross-cultural communication skills.
Foundational subjects in social science include social determinants of health, human geography, sociology, interdisciplinary competencies and career-ready learning.
During your second and third years, you'll focus on local and international fieldwork, the emergence and future of the megacity, and population growth and change in both Australian and global contexts.
You'll also delve into qualitative research design, practical job seeking seminars, human-environment interactions, and environmental and heritage management.
