Branches of Geography

Geography can be divided into two main branches: Physical and Human Geography.
Under physical Geography, there are several sub-branches, including Geographical Information Systems, Geomorphology, Meteorology and Climatology among others. Human geography encompasses sub-disciplines like Urban Geography, population Geography and Planning and Development. Additionally there may be disciplines which fall into both such as Natural Hazards.

The two main Geography programmes we have at the university include the BSc. Major in Geography, where you can focus your programme on either human or physical Geography and the BSc. Special programme which allows you to get a great sample of both.  

The broad disciplinary footprint of the subject area also gives you a deeper understanding of the world around you. It is the type of field that forces you to think deeply about the world around you.
