Overview
Geography at Victoria is about the place where we live and who we are, and the interactions between them. In no other country are there more important reasons to study the land alongside the people who inhabit it. Along with a distinct local flavour, geography gives you a truly global knowledge base.
Victoria's major in Geography combines the social and scientific aspects of this discipline - you can take it as a major for a Bachelor of Science [BSc] or a Bachelor of Arts [BA]. Study the natural environment and the interaction between its many aspects, or focus on human environments and the impacts of urbanisation and population growth.
Your study can follow one of five themes: Socio-economic and Cultural Systems, Biophysical Systems, Environment and Resource Studies, Regional and Development Studies, and Techniques for Geographic Analysis. The skills and techniques you learn will help you understand and solve contemporary problems with flair and confidence.
A new Bachelor of Science major in Physical Geography is available from 2010.
