Course Overview

M.Sc. Geography is a 2-year postgraduate program that explores physical and human geography, GIS, and environmental studies. It combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills to prepare students for careers in research, teaching, planning, and geospatial technology.

The M.Sc. Geography program provides advanced academic and practical training in the study of Earth’s landscapes, environments, and human interactions. Students engage with core subjects such as physical geography, human geography, environmental management, climatology, and cartography. A significant focus is placed on technical skills through GIS (Geographic Information Systems), remote sensing, spatial data analysis, and fieldwork. The curriculum blends theory, lab work, field surveys, and project-based research, allowing students to critically understand global and regional geographic issues.
