What it isYou study both the natural world (climate, landforms, ecosystems) and human societies (cities, culture, economics, politics), combined with applied aviation knowledge. This blend lets you explore how geography shapes air travel routes, airport planning, and aviation's environmental impact in ways a standard geography program does not. It suits people curious about how Earth works and interested in the aviation industry.A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.This program lets you study the ideas, cultures, and creative works that shape human society — choosing from subjects like English, history, languages, drama, and philosophy. Unlike science or engineering programs, humanities focus on interpretation, argument, and understanding rather than technical problem-solving. It suits people who enjoy reading, writing, discussing ideas, and exploring different cultures and time periods, and the co-op option lets you apply those skills in workplaces beyond campus.
