YEAR 1
You will explore an equal balance of physical and human geography themes including a world of resources of development of changing environments a shrinking world a world of conflict and a world of interactions

YEAR 2
You will explore human and physical processes examining environmental problems and their possible resolutions You will be trained in statistical methods geographic information systems GIS and laboratory analysis

You will also study other subjects in 1 and 2 to pursue your interests and ensure maximum flexibility; see Flexible degrees

YEARS 3 AND 4
If you progress to Honours 3 and 4 you will study both core and optional courses Core courses are related to advanced training methods such as data management modelling GIS interviewing and interpretative methods and dissertation training A range of optional courses complement the core courses Some Environmental Geoscience optional courses may also be available to Geography students
