Geography

The major is offered under the MSc in Geography degree programme.

The main idea of education in the field of geography is to acquire knowledge in physical and socio-economic geography. The students learn to understand and interpret the proper functioning of the environment in space and time, to use the results of analyses and information about natural and anthropogenic phenomena or processes on a local and global scale. They discover the interdependencies between elements of the natural environment and human activity, learn to use databases, learn about modern methods of cartographic imaging using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). 

The curriculum includes geoecology, regional geography of the world, meteorology and climatography, soil science, geomorphology and many, many more. The possibility of laboratory and field classes during holiday months in Poland and abroad is an interesting way to liven up the studies.
