While studying Geography, you’ll learn about people and the world through humanities, social sciences, biological, and physical science disciplines. You’ll develop important skills related to the changing regional patterns of human behaviour in order to understand how these systems shape the landscape and what we might do to reshape our world.
These skills may include:
- Conducting original research to answer your own pressing questions about such matters as climate change, society and environment, urban life, global health, and social inequality
- Conducting historical, archival, and literary research drawing upon quantitative and qualitative methods as well as mapping techniques
- Critically comparing and contrasting information and perspectives about the causes of environmental and social issues and thinking critically about the possible solutions
- Analyzing geo-spatial data
- Designing and creating maps and graphs
- Clear and concise written communication drawing upon the fundamental importance of context and local contingency
