The Bachelor of Geography is an academic program designed to understand and analyze the interactions of the natural and human environment. This program provides students with the opportunity to study in depth the effects of various geographical phenomena, climate changes, soil structure, vegetation and water resources as well as human communities on this natural environment. Students analyze these interactions using various methodologies such as geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing and field studies.
The curriculum of the program generally covers core subjects such as physical geography, human geography, environmental geography and geographic information systems. While physical geography examines the natural structure and processes of the world, human geography deals with the geographical distribution, cultural characteristics and economic activities of human communities. Environmental geography examines the effects of human activities on the environment and sustainability issues. Geographic information systems deal with the collection, processing and analysis of geographical data.
Teaching methods include theoretical lectures, laboratory work, field trips and project-based learning. Students learn geographical phenomena not only theoretically but also through practical applications. In this way, graduates gain competence in collecting, analyzing and interpreting geographical data.
Geography graduates have a wide range of careers. In the public sector, they have the opportunity to work in areas such as urban planning, environmental management, disaster management; in the private sector, they have the opportunity to work in various sectors such as tourism, real estate, environmental consultancy. In addition, thanks to their expertise in geographic information systems, they can be in demand in many different fields.
The program also offers students internship and practice opportunities. These internships allow students to apply their academic knowledge in real-world situations and meet professionals in the industry. These experiences play an important role in helping graduates find jobs and shape their careers. The Geography Undergraduate Program offers a comprehensive and dynamic education that provides students with the ability to understand and analyze the world and the environment in which we live, and to put this knowledge into practice.
