| What it is | Physical Geography and Geomatics is the study of Earth's natural systems — climate, landforms, water cycles, and ecosystems — combined with the tools and technology used to map and analyze landscapes and geographic data. You'll learn fieldwork skills alongside GIS software and remote sensing, which sets this apart from pure geology or human geography alone. It suits students who want to understand how the physical world works and are comfortable with both outdoor research and technical problem-solving. | Geography is the study of Earth's landscapes, climates, and human societies — how natural systems work and how people live and interact with their environment. This three-year degree covers physical geography (like weather and landforms) and human geography (like culture and cities) alongside geology. It suits people curious about how the world works at large scales, who want a broader foundation than specializing in just environmental science or geology alone. |
