Bachelor of Science (Human Geography or Environment and Heritage Management)

Address questions around human impact, managing valued landscapes and the designation of heritage sites when you study human geography and environment and heritage management at UOW. You will develop the research and critical thinking skills of both a scientist and social scientist to address contemporary questions and challenges of environment and heritage management. You will learn the practical skills of human geographers and environmental scientists to creatively solve problems.

You will learn core fundamental knowledge across practical and theoretical subjects throughout your degree, with the opportunity to specialise in either Human Geography or Environment and Heritage Management.

The human geography and environment and heritage management majors investigate issues of global significance, especially the human impact on the Earth, the management of valuable landscapes, and the planning of cities and regions. During this degree you will investigate solutions to issues around climate change, economic development, environmental management, population and cultural change, and urban, rural and regional planning, and have opportunities to undertake individual research subjects at second, third- and fourth-year level, and to participate in various enrichment activities. In the final year you will undertake substantial supervised research in your major discipline.
