In the Bachelor of Arts (Geography) you’ll study how human interacts with cultural, social and physical environments. 

Geography is a diverse and dynamic subject. It covers issues such as:

sustainability, urban development, globalization, people’s lived experiences of their environments. 

Geographers like to get out into the field to study the world as it really is. 

They use a variety of tools, including geospatial mapping technologies.

Stage one of the BA Geography includes both human and physical geography.

• Human geography looks at how social processes affect space, place and landscape.
• Physical geography looks at how natural landscapes take shape and change.

You will gain a solid foundation for understanding world as the product of a combination of social and natural processes. 

More advanced courses expand on the themes established at stage one.

You can specialize in human geography, or include more advanced geospatial and physical geography courses as well.
