Changes in our environment mean we are facing unprecedented societal, economic and political challenges.

With a Master of Geography, you'll become part of the new generation of workers who are tackling these challenges by bridging the gap between the social and natural sciences. You can specialise in one of three streams – physical, human or integrated geography – and include an optional research thesis if you wish.
