Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Geography

University of Canterbury

The Bachelor of Arts with Honours or BA(Hons) is for high-achieving Bachelor of Arts students (or those from equivalent degrees) to select from a wide range of subjects in the humanities and social sciences. UC's BA honours degree is made up of a personalised study programme, which includes elective coursework and a supervised research component. Geography is the study of human behaviour, the environment we live in, and the relationship between both. This field combines arts and sciences to find innovative solutions to our society’s most pressing issues and debates, and the human response to these challenges, such as climate change, poverty, sustainability, health, and inequality. Study Involve: Explore different pathways in geography: physical geography, human geography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and resource and environmental management. Practical workshops, labs, and fieldtrips to examine geographical processes outside of the classroom – including urban mobility and planning. You will get the opportunity to undertake research with community partners that supports resilient environments and communities through research.
