Bachelor of Science with Honours in Geography

University of Canterbury

The Bachelor of Science with Honours degree is made up of one full-time year of coursework that includes a research component. Subject areas range from Astronomy to Statistics, and you may complete the programme in two subjects if desired (combined honours). For more information about why you should consider studying a postgraduate Science programme at UC, see the Postgraduate Prospectus. Geography is the study of human behaviour, the environment we live in, and the relationship between both. This field combines arts and sciences to find innovative solutions to our society’s most pressing issues and debates, and the human response to these challenges, such as climate change, poverty, sustainability, health, and inequality. Study Involve: Explore different pathways in geography: physical geography, human geography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and resource and environmental management. Practical workshops, labs, and fieldtrips to examine geographical processes outside of the classroom – including urban mobility and planning. You will get the opportunity to undertake research with community partners that supports resilient environments and communities through research.
