What the college says

In contemporary society issues such as urbanisation, population, development and environmental quality are increasingly important. These and other related themes that express the major concerns of our times reflect the consequences of spatial decisions. Conducting its analyses at the local, regional, national and international scales, geography examines the spatial processes and the perceptions of humans, as well as their inter-relations between the human and natural environments. The questions where and why are central to geography. The former introduces the issues of location and of spatial choice; and the latter signifies that modern geography is not content merely to describe but that it also seeks to explain.
