Department of Geography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Explore the physical and human geography of the world through the study of landscapes, environments, populations, and spatial patterns. Develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to analyze geographic phenomena, interpret maps, manage spatial data, apply Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and use modern geospatial technologies in geographic research, environmental studies, urban planning, and resource management.

This programme combines geography with modern geographic information systems and geospatial technologies, preparing students to understand the physical and human characteristics of the Earth and develop effective approaches to geographic analysis. Students develop practical knowledge in cartography, GIS, remote sensing, spatial data analysis, environmental studies, geographic research, and geospatial technologies, providing a strong foundation for careers in GIS, mapping, urban planning, environmental management, surveying, and geographic research
