Bachelor of Science (Geography)

The Bachelor of Science (Geography) enables students to gain a broad foundation in geography and offers a powerful mix of interdisciplinary skills to solve a range of real-world problems. Students are able to investigate the dynamic relationships between humans, their cultures, and environments, and cover a range of contemporary issues including social and environmental justice, and the efficient, equitable and sustainable use of resources. Since Geography is the study of place, space and the environment, Geographers ask questions about how societies and environments are connected to one another; how and why they change; and how and why their characteristics vary across time and space at different scales.Graduates have a powerful mix of skills to solve a range of problems. They can analyse and synthesise complex environmental, economic, social and political information to enable a geographical understanding of humans, environments and the dynamic relationships between them. They are proficient at retrieving, synthesising and communicating information, as well as managing data and drawing on different sources of knowledge. They think critically and creatively, and work effectively both in teams and on their own initiative. These skills and attributes make Geography graduates highly employable in a great variety of fields across both government and non-government sectors in Australia and overseas.
