Course Content
Graduates of the Bachelor’s degree programme in Geography with a 25% weighting, possess fundamental knowledge of the terms, theories and concepts of Physical Geography and/or Human Geography, as well as Geoinformatics. Where students have a specialisation, they acquire initial practical experience in various methods of data collection and interpretation. These include site observation, cartography, aerial and satellite imaging, laboratory methods, statistical analyses, working with geographical information systems (GIS), archive research, interview and survey techniques, literary evaluations, as well as text and media analyses. Graduates are able to apply these working methods to solve simple, scientific questions.
