Bachelor of Social Sciences (BSocSc) in Geography

Program Available at Hamilton Campus

We offer papers in environmental planning, and geographic information systems as well as in social and cultural geography. A number of the papers have a particular emphasis on M?ori and feminist perspectives, and the social, economic and political processes that produce them. We'll get you to understand and consider solutions for the world's rapid changes caused by development, tourism, globalization, environmental degradation, population growth, and consumption.

Geography at Waikato goes beyond the classroom and opens you up to numerous career opportunities. Upon graduation, our students pursue careers in urban and regional planning, regional economic development, travel and tourism development, environmental consultancy, as well as the property and housing industry and local government.
