Geography has never been more relevant or important. Geographers are actively involved in addressing issues like climate change and population growth by studying natural and human environments and activities. As a student in the Geography major, you'll develop your understanding of the relationship between natural systems (climate, landscape, biota) and social systems (human populations, economic activity, society and culture). You'll also have the option of studying topics such as the geography of Australia, resource management, meteorology, climate change, and GIS. In total there are more than 30 elective courses to choose from.

The Bachelor of Arts provides you with a well-rounded education, the ability to think and analyse, to write effectively, and the specialist knowledge gained in your major. As a result, a BA opens up a range of career opportunities including but not limited to:

• advertising, marketing, PR and media
• arts curatorship
• communications
• community/voluntary sector
• foreign affairs and trade
• government sector
• project management
• theatre direction and production.

Alternatively, you may choose to progress to honours, which further enhances your career prospects. Many employers, such as those in the public and finance sectors, require you to hold an honours degree.
