Geography
Welcome to the website of the Division of Geography. Geography focuses on spatial patterns of physical and human-induced phenomena at the earth’s surface and on the interactions between society and the environment.
Our division organizes a Bachelor as well as a Master of Geography, a Master of Tourism as well as Doctoral Training. We are also involved in the Erasmus Mundus Master in Sustainable Territorial Development. Unique in these courses is the thorough training in both natural and human sciences, so that our graduates are capable of working in a wide range of jobs.
