Geography

If you are interested in the relationships between the environment and society and want to learn about landscapes and people, consider studying geography. Geography is about place and space. It studies the interdependence among regions, natural systems, physical features, society, and cultural activities. Using a пПТspatialпПУ perspective, it aims to form a coherent understanding of Earth and its environments and physical landscapes using technologies such as aerial photographs, satellite imagery, geographic information systems, as well as extensive field work and surveys.Geography students will learn by doing, rather than just reading. Many of our core courses have strong field and lab components, giving students practical experiences to develop skills that will make them attractive candidates for future employers. Students also have an opportunity to gain hands-on experience through Applied Topics courses, using their academic training in geography for a project on or off campus. Others work closely with faculty to pursue their interests in a specific field of geography in a Directed Studies or Honours Thesis course.
