This course is firmly grounded in the real world and focuses on the interactions between individuals, societies, and physical processes in both time and space. It seeks to identify trends and patterns in these interactions. It also investigates the way in which people adapt and respond to change and evaluates actual and possible management strategies associated with such change.
This course integrates physical, environmental, and human geography, and ensures that students acquire elements of both socio-economic and scientific methodologies. Geography examines relevant concepts from a variety of disciplines. This helps students develop life skills and have an appreciation of, and a respect for, alternative approaches, viewpoints, and ideas.
