The Geography program at UOW includes the opportunity to undertake practical laboratory and fieldwork, taking advantage of the local Illawarra environment, including:
Urban and heritage landscapes, coastal landscapes, rainforest escarpment and freshwater ecosystems.
You will develop the knowledge and skills to apply the latest technologies in spatial analysis and satellite imagery within the context of these environments.
These skills are in demand across various sectors, including government bodies, industry, and consultancies.
You will learn logical and critical thinking skills, creative problem-solving, practical research, organisation and project management, numeracy, statistical literacy, computer applications (including geographic information systems), and strong communication.
You will apply these skills to problems in physical and human geography, studying the natural environment, its processes, and the interaction of these with human society and the way it shapes and is shaped by the natural world.
Your studies will include climate change, biogeography, coastal and fluvial environments, populations, urban and regional societies, spatial geography and environmental management.
On completion, high-performing students considering further study or a research career should view the Bachelor of Science (Honours) program.
This one-year degree offers students a pathway to expanding their knowledge in geography and achieving their postgraduate research aspirations.
