If you have a mind for science and you’re keen to keep your options open, then the BSc (Bachelor of Science) is the degree for you. With many undergraduate majors in a wide range of subject areas, the BSc will allow you to incorporate different areas of interest and expertise.
As well as strongly emphasising transferable skills to improve your employment opportunities, this programme will expose you to cutting-edge technologies and provide a gateway to independent research.
Throughout your undergraduate degree you’ll be taught by knowledgeable scientists, many of whom are major contributors in their field.
You can study Geography as a major in the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Arts.
Geographers ask questions about places and the relations between physical and human drivers that shape them. Human geographers focus attention on social change and the cultural, economic, and social processes that drive change.
Physical geographers study the biophysical world, and the processes which change it. Many geographers also study the interactions between physical and social processes, how these are managed, and how they might be better managed.
Courses in Geography stretch from the study of coastal and river processes and landforms, to climatology, biogeography, hydrology, environmental change, environmental management, rural and urban development, housing, population change, policy formation, and socio-economic change.
As a Geography student you’ll have the chance to study the monitoring and analysis of weather, waves, tides, soils, sediments and rivers; cultural and economic practices; the interpretation of physical and cultural landscapes; mapping, cartography, geo-visualisation and modelling; and the experiences of particular groups in society.
You will explore these subjects both in the classroom and, importantly, through fieldwork, which forms an integral part of studying Geography.
Your BSc programme will consist of a number of courses worth 15 points each, totalling 360 points. The capstone course is a student-led project where you integrate and apply your learning to a real-world problem in your chosen major or specialisation.
