Course Description

Geographers are social and environmental scientists who help improve our understanding of the world we live in. They are interested in the convergence of people and the environment, and our relationships with urban, rural, regional and remote spaces. Geography at Curtin is a diverse discipline that will give you the essential skills to address key issues such as climate change, growth of cities, bushfires, food security and changing communities. You will explore migration changes, social movements and contests over space and place. You'll also develop essential analytical and practical fieldwork skills, such as interviewing and surveying, mapping, participant observation and statistical analysis, recording fieldnotes and writing demographic reports. You will be trained in spatial analysis and mapping using ARCGIS and other software. Fieldstrips are undertaken in areas of Perth, Fremantle and the Wheatbelt, enabling you to apply your learning to local environments. Your studies will benefit from our strong links with local communities and industries, as well as our Sustainable Livelihoods program with Papua New Guinea. Geography is offered as part of the Bachelor of Arts. You can enhance your studies with a secondary major or choose from a range of elective units to support your career goals.
