Geography is offered as a main field of study in the BA Degree and undergraduates can choose it as a field of specialization as well. In the first year, undergraduates have a choice of courses ranging from Human Geography to Physical Geography. The second year spans the full range of discipline and examines some of the major issues affecting the world today, while in the third year undergraduates are exposed to more specific, advanced and specialized courses with special emphasis on regional, environmental, sustainable development and modern geographic techniques. Students are provided with a variety of opportunities at the honors level.
Thus, by the end of this degree programme students will be able to:
Interpret the spatial pattern of physical and human environment via exposure to field oriented education.
Apply research excellence as a springboard for teaching quality.
Integrate interdisciplinary approach for solving contemporary issues.
Interact logical and critical thinking with the use of new spatial technologies.
Possess a geographical perspective based on analytical, synthesizing and interpretative skills.
Adapt into the world of work through empathy and insight, intellectual integrity, awareness of responsibility as a local, national and international citizen.
