Overview

Geography from University of Gothenburg combines Physical and Human Geography to explore Geography’s role in modern society. Whether you’re interested in Geographical Information Systems, human rights, climate change, or city planning and resource distribution, you will develop the skills necessary to address future challenges with this modern science.

Quick Facts:

Most of planet Earth's population now live and work in urban areas, and business and production are increasingly concentrated in urban regions. But how do such structural transformations articulate and influence people’s lives and environments, short- and long-range resource chains, and land and resource use? The task of achieving sustainable urban futures requires prioritizing holistic thinking. Geography—bridging the social and natural sciences—is particularly suited to such a challenge.
In the Master's Programme in Geography, we strive to pursue a balanced consideration of both Physical and Human Geography that deals with global change and sustainable development. You will have the opportunity to explore the interdisciplinary elements of Geography while still focusing on your specific interests.
In addition to the freedom to choose elective courses, our programme addresses the increasing use of computer-aided mapping in many Earth Science research questions by offering advanced courses in Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing tools.
